What exactly does Kant mean by 'Intuition'?
I think the definition is 'phenomena as they are presented to the mind, the perception of phenomena unaltered by the brain'.
I think that's basically right.

'Intuition' can mean a faculty of the mind, or the representations received via that faculty. As a faculty it roughly corresponds to perception: it's passive, and receives impressions. These impressions, the sensory manifold, are then molded via the forms of intuition, space and time. Pure intuition then perceives the form of space and time alone, absent any 'matter' from impressions, and allows us to do math. The representations received, either in pure intuition or from organized sensory impressions, are also called intuitions.

Listen to this guy
Also, intuition is a notoriously peculiar choice of term by Norman Kemp Smith, and many have argued with it, but it's still in use because generations of Kant readers came up with it and it's hard to change such a central term now
Just be careful that you aren't confusing the distinction between intuition/cognition as "raw sense data" which somehow enters the mind. Like the guy above says, intuition is structured.
Not OP, and unrelated question, but can anyone explain Kant's idea about aesthetic judgments, specifically beauty? I read the third critique a few weeks ago and I feel like I almost get his ideas there, but I could do with a little push to really get it to click. It's something to do with an object pleasing our desire for structure I think, without being aimed at a particular end.
Intuition, Subconscious, Serendipity - all of them ultimately boil down to God.
Fuck kant.
