Empiricism ... is opposed to all forms of ilituitioflalism
( http://3.1911encyclopedia.org/E/EM/EMPIRICISM.htm )

Can anybody tell me what this means, or is it an ordinary typo?
As English is not my mother-tongue, I do not see what it schould
have been (other than intuitionalism, but that's far from what the
text itself really says)

The online Merriam-Webster doesn't give a clue...

Kind regards,

JH

If English is not your mother-tongue, you really shouldn't be reading a work
which has been badly scanned and OCRed :-)

This is certainly a scanning/OCR error: it is probably a conflation of
something like "intuition and rationalism".
