intuition(Kant, Prolegomena 4:286)
In Kant's usage, immediate sensory or spatial awareness that is not reducible to conceptual thought; the mode by which the distinction between right and left is apprehended.
passive receptivity(as a feature of intuition in Kant's theory)
The capacity to simply receive or take in information from the world through your senses, without actively creating or changing it.
