Intuition‐denial and methods teaching: Prediction, reform, and complication Article Swipe
According to a popular theory in philosophical methodology, there is a widespread misconception among philosophers as to their own methods. This misconception is that philosophers use intuitions as evidence. This is a fascinating theory, for various reasons. Some of those reasons pertain to what the theory predicts about what philosophers are teaching their students, and whether the theory puts us on the pathway to pedagogical reform. The current paper does not answer those questions but uses them to demonstrate hitherto unrecognized fascinating aspects of the idea that there is a widespread misconception among philosophers as to their methods. Advocates of the theory end up needing to make surprising further claims about the nature of the profession, and to revisit debates they have dismissed as a big mistake.
