Expansion of methodological possibilities of contemporary science, in its different directions, gives reason to believe that time has come to approach experimentally and verifiably to the issue of clarifying the nature and mechanism of the psi-phenomena. On example of intuition as a particular manifestation of psi-phenomena, we made assumptions about the direction of research and proposed theoretical foundations of intuition within an interdisciplinary approach. Subjects of the first part of our study are psi phenomena and intuition, in particular, as phenomena that require a multidisciplinary approach in their study, as well as contemporary narrative of psy-phenomena. For our research purposes we used hermeneutic, discursive, historical and logical, and system approaches within a more general framework of theoretical analysis and synthesis of philosophical, physiological and psychological ideas about the nature of psi phenomena and methods of their experimental study. We have shown understanding intuition was historically reduced to irrelevant phenomena: poorly perceived processing of (i) local and (ii) non-local information (in physical sense). We describe organizational methods of interdisciplinary research for different types of intuition and some ways to overcome potential difficulties of experimental studies in this area. We have proved the presence of different phenomena usually designated by term ‘intuition’. We introduced terminological distinction between these phenomena: (i) intuition as the unconscious way of thinking (the result of the processing of local information) and (ii) intuition as direct sense (the result of processing of non-local information) and justified the necessity of different approaches in the study of these two types of intuition.

В первой части статьи приводится описание проблемного поля трудно воспроизводимых психических явлений, в частности, интуиции. Понимание интуиции сводится к двум неродственным феноменам плохо осознаваемой обработке локальной и нелокальной информации.
