Intuitions As Evidence

Intuitions As Evidence written by Joel Pust and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-01-11 with Philosophy categories.

This book is concerned with the role of intuitions in the justification of philosophical theory. The author begins by demonstrating how contemporary philosophers, whether engaged in case-driven analysis or seeking reflective equilibrium, rely on intuitions as evidence for their theories. The author then provides an account of the nature of philosophical intuitions and distinguishes them from other psychological states. Finally, the author defends the use of intuitions as evidence by demonstrating that arguments for skepticism about their evidential value are either self-defeating or guilty of arbitrary and unjustified partiality towards non-intuitive modes of knowledge.

Intuitions are often treated in philosophy as a basic evidential source to confirm/discredit a proposed definition or theory; e.g. intuitions about Gettier cases are taken to deny a justified-true-belief analysis of 'knowledge'. Recently, Weinberg, Nichols & Stitch (WN&S) provided evidence that epistemic intuitions vary across persons and cultures. Insofar as philosophy of this type (Standard Philosophical Methodology---SPM) is committed to provide conceptual analyses, the use of intuition is suspect---it does not exhibit the requisite normativity. I provide an analysis of intuition, with an emphasis on its neural---or connectionist---cognitive backbone; the analysis provides insight into its epistemic status and proper role within SPM. Intuition is initially characterized as the recognition of a pattern.The metaphysics of 'pattern' is analyzed for the purpose of denying that traditional symbolic computation is capable of differentiating the patterns of interest.The epistemology of 'recognition' is analyzed, again, to deny that traditional computation is capable of capturing human acts of recognition.Both intuition and a theory of concepts---pragmatic conceptualism ---are developed within the connectionist computational paradigm. Intuition is a particular sort of occurrent signal, and a concept is a counterfactually defined set of signals. Standard connectionist theory is significantly extended to develop my position, and consciousness plays a key functional role. This extension---taking connectionism seriously---is argued to be justified on the basis of the failure of the traditional computing paradigm to account for human cognition.Fodor's informational semantics, his Language of Thought and his Representational Theory of Mind are analyzed and his arguments denied. Again, the purpose is to deny traditional computational theories of mind.Repercussions for the use of intuition in SPM are developed. Variance in intuition is characterized---and expected---as a kind of bias in the network, either inherent or externally-provoked. The WN&S data is explained in the context of this bias. If SPM remains committed to the use of intuition, then intuition must be taken as a part of a larger body of evidence, and it is from experts---not the folk---that intuitions should be solicited.
