Rethinking Intuition: The Psychology of Intuition and its Role in Philosophical Inquiry

Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgements. This volume brings together a group of philosophers and psychologists to discuss these issues. It contains a collection of essays discussing intuition from two different perspectives. They also cover how psychological research seems to pose serious challenges to traditional intuition-driven philosophical enquiry. The contributors include George Bealer, Robert Cummings, Richard Foley, Alison Gopnik, George Graham, Tamara Horowitz, Joel Pust, Eldar Shafir and Stephen Stitch.
