In today's complex world, full of choices, human moral judgments often arise from fast, automatic, and emotional processes known as "moral intuitions." Using a descriptive-analytical method and based on theoretical frameworks of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, this research analyzes the nature, mechanisms, and validity of these intuitions. According to Haidt's Social Intuitionist Model, moral reasoning primarily plays a post-hoc justificatory role, and judgments are formed in the mind prior to any logical reflection. The dual-process theory reinforces this model by viewing intuitions as stemming from "System 1" (fast, emotional, and unconscious) in contrast to the rational reasoning system of "System 2" (slow, analytical, and conscious). The primary driving force behind the formation of moral intuitions is "moral heuristics"; simplified mental rules that facilitate decision-making under conditions of uncertainty through the unconscious substitution of complex target attributes with simpler cues. Rooted in evolutionary, cognitive, and cultural levels, these heuristics can be classified into four categories: rule-based, discriminatory-emotional, intention-based, and superficially consequentialist. Although these mechanisms are evolutionarily efficient and essential for social life, they are prone to systematic errors and susceptibility to momentary emotions and diverse cultural contexts. The present article argues that while intuitions and heuristics constitute the foundation of our moral cognitive architecture, achieving a valid judgment requires critical review by deliberative reasoning and cross-cultural dialogue.
