Intuition is a venerable theory problem that can trace back to thousand years ago, and special form of thinking in modern science development. Chinese philosophers had discuss the intuition much when two thousand years ago,they think intuition can easily find the essence which behind things. For thousands of years Intuitive thinking about the discussions have never stopped. It has already become common research object of philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, aesthetics, brain science and artificial intelligence.In today's society, in the face of economic globalization and information technology revolution, we should recognize that scientific discoveries are the basis of all scientific development, scientific discoveries are the most important of all scientific research. Scientific research is found in all areas of research and practice of the most pressing problem. Nowadays the discussion about scientific discovery has led to attach great importance to all countries. Scientific research has changed from the previous logical, rational understanding of the perspective of to the progressive development of the intuitive and emotional areas. Intuitive thinking from the perspective of understanding of scientific discoveries, are found in the study of science a significant step forward.Research on intuitive thinking, is the inherent logic the development of human history and the requirements of modern scientific development's inevitable result. In this paper, we will use a philosophical point of view to discuss the evolution and development of intuitive knowledge, the role of intuitive thinking in the scientific discovery and intuitive thinking about the significance of scientific discoveries. We can make intuitive thinking and scientific discoveries linking activity, not only find the relationship between scientific phenomena and the intuitive thinking, but also the relationship between logic of scientific discovery and intuitive thinking which after the hidden scientific phenomena.This article research the intuition of scientific discovery activities mainly from the following three parts:The first part is the evolution and development of intuitive thinking research. In order to better know the role of intuitive thinking process of, we have a need to clarify the meaning and characteristics of the intuitive thinking and the evolution of intuitive thinking. After the study of intuitive thinking in the process of scientific development which made by about the Chinese and Western philosophers explanation, we know that intuitive thinking which with the sudden and ambiguous sexual characteristics, as well as creative, and has been know the nature of intuitive thinking. That is intuitive thinking is the basic way of thinking which based on experience or knowledge, is a universal psychological phenomenon and a basic way of thinking of human beings.The role and the emergence of intuitive thinking should not leave rational thought. The second part, research on intuitive thinking to promote scientific discovery. In this part, we summarized research the events of scientific discoveries, does the nature of it. At the same time described the events of scientific discoveries in different periods of time. And found activities to do with contemporary comparison. At last, we come to the features of contemporary scientific discovery activities. After we summarized research the events of scientific discoveries, this article focuses on the manifestations and trigger mechanisms which in scientific discoveries, we think that intuitive judgments, intuition imagination and intuition inspired are the specific performance which in the scientific discoveries, and describes the new understanding of the intuitive thinking about the performance form, that is, intuitive faith. About the intuitive thinking trigger mechanism, we study from its produce the basis for the process and trigger-induced status. Intuitive thinking, not only because of is a crucial stage of work at scientific discovery, but also at the role of each aspect in scientific discovery activities. Therefore, this article study the flash of intuitive thinking in the scientific discoveries from events know of scientific discovery procedures, research and development process. Third part of this paper, we study the intuitive thinking in the scientific discovery activities and the role of the value of the methodology. Intuitive thinking as a form of non-logical thinking, has its own methodology value. In this paper, we study apart from its endogenous and dominant research perspective, pointed out that the intuitive thinking has essential role which as a form of creative thinking in the scientific discovery activities. This role is mainly embodied in that intuitive thinking can expand understanding of space science, improve the efficiency of scientific research, and it is the source of scientific guess and scientific hypothesis, as well as it is the power to promote new scientific discoveries.Generally speaking, for scientific discovery in the study of intuitive thinking, in this paper, we from intuitive thinking is how to produce, how the role and value of scientific activities for the perspective of the study. This article discusses the main focus in the forms of intuitive thinking and logical thinking and make up the difference between them. We consider that the results which are produced in activities of scientific discovery and creativity are the product of combining two kinds of thinking. At emphasize the role of intuitive thinking, we must also notes the limitations of intuitive thinking, we consider that the correct way of thinking should be set up on the accumulation of basic which in a rational way of thinking., then, generated by the holistic understanding which make emotional intuition of things. If the intuitive thinking can be appropriate and reasonable use of, it can be an enormous role in promoting the activity of scientific discovery.
