Summary:

Intuitions may seem to play a fundamental role in philosophy but their role and their value have recently been challenged. This volume offers new essays investigating their epistemological and metaphysical standing, how they are used in philosophy and other disciplines, and how their use stands up to challenges from experimental philosophy.
