This paper is tell us a theory from Immanuel Kant about the role of intuition in mathematic. According to Kant, mathematics as a science is possible if the concept constructed based on mathematical in spatial intuition and time. So if mathematics is developed only by the method "Analytic" it will not be produced (constructed) a new concept, and so it will cause the math is just as science in fiction. According to Kant, mathematics was not developed only with the concept of "a posteriori "because if like that math will be empirical. However datas that obtained from empirical experience is required for sensing explore the mathematical concepts that are "a priori". This is where the unique the role of Kant's theory, which attempts to give solution (middle way) of extreme conflict between the rationalist and the empiricist in build the foundation of mathematics. According to Kant, intuition becomes the core and key for the understanding and construction of mathematical.
According to Kant (Kant, I., 1781), understanding and the construction of mathematical understanding is obtained by first finding "pure intuition" in the sense or mind.
The mathematics are "synthetic a priori" can be constructed through three stages of intuition
ie "intuition sensing", "intuition is reasonable", and "intuitive mind". Intuition sensing
associated with mathematical objects that can be perceived as an element a posteriori.
