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

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

Edited by Michael R. DePaul, William Ramsey

Part of the Studies in Epistemology and Cognitive Theory series

Hardback

Description

Ancients and moderns alike have constructed arguments and assessed theories on the basis of common sense and intuitive judgments.

Yet, despite the important role intuitions play in philosophy, there has been little reflection on fundamental questions concerning the sort of data intuitions provide, how they are supposed to lead us to the truth, and why we should treat them as important.

In addition, recent psychological research seems to pose serious challenges to traditional intuition-driven philosophical inquiry.

Rethinking Intuition brings together a distinguished group of philosophers and psychologists to discuss these important issues.

Students and scholars in both fields will find this book to be of great value.
