Abstract

Intuitions is presented as a counterpart of Rethinking Intuition ( DePaul and Ramsey 1998 ). 1 After 16 years, it revisits the topic of the place of intuitions in philosophy in light of two developments: [T]he rise … of analytic metaphysics and of a school of philosophy that rejects both the preoccupation with ordinary language and the idea that the default methodology of philosophy is conceptual analysis … [T]he nascent challenge from the cognitive psychologists has matured and evolved into a fully-fledged sub-discipline of philosophy, with its own journal 2 … Experimental Philosophy ( Booth 2014 : 2) I’ve focused my comments on two themes related to these two developments. In Section 1, I consider the extent to which the chapters represent a shift away from the assumption that intuitions and concepts play a central role in the epistemology of philosophy. In Section 2, I consider how experimental philosophy is best understood vs how it is represented in Intuitions .
