In Brouwer's philosophy, known as intuitionism, mathematics is a free creation of the human mind, and an object exists if and only if it can be (mentally) constructed. ❋ Bridges, Douglas (2009)
The commentator also suggests that the classification is problematic; but the reasons given are considerably more obscure, and some of them seem based on not taking the Whewell-Mill example seriously, and on not paying attention to the meaning that it sets up for the label 'intuitionism' in particular, the comment doesn't seem to recognize what intuitionism meant in the time period from which I explicitly took the term. ❋ Unknown (2005)
For those who need more than I've given above to clarify what I mean by 'intuitionism' and 'utilitarianism', a good place to start is John Stuart Mill's "Whewell on Moral Philosophy"; it's partisan, but it's clear. posted by Brandon | 10:32 AM ❋ Unknown (2005)
German influence came to modify the whole controversy, the vital issue seemed to lie between the doctrine of Reid or 'intuitionism' on the one hand, and the purely 'experiential' school on the other, whether, as in France, it followed Condillac, or, as in England, looked back chiefly to Hartley. ❋ Leslie Stephen (1868)
"intuitionism" that views the body as something taken for granted, something there to touch, something outside language, in no way a philosophical problem. ❋ Unknown (2008)
'common-sense' view, and even to the hated 'intuitionism'; and Mill deserves the more credit for his candour. ❋ Leslie Stephen (1868)
In his middle period, inaugurated by the first formulations of the idea of “the place of Absolute Nothingness” in From That Which Acts to That Which Sees, Nishida's thought was characterized by a shift from his earlier voluntarism to a kind of intuitionism of pure seeing without a seer (see NKZ IV, 3 “ 6). ❋ Davis, Bret W. (2006)
This intuitionism may be the assumed ground of Western philosophy and of current cultural studies too. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I'm giving ID every possible benefit of the doubt here – they can mean consciousness, or they can mean dualism, or they can stick with folk psychology and intuitionism, or any other thing they want. ❋ Unknown (2008)
I'm all for brainstorming, but I won't stop complaining about cognitive intuitionism being a dead-end street: If you don't say what you mean, then all of your ideas about mind will simply sink under equivocations that you're not even aware of. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The approach you seem to advocate is to simply bracket all questions about the referrents of mentalistic terms, and proceed according to intuitionism. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, and their heirs developed a metaphysic, a logic, and an epistemology that demanded observation of the natural world and rejected intuitionism. ❋ Unknown (2008)
There is no more reason to reject intuitionism (if one disregards the aesthetic issue, which in practice will also for me be the decisive factor). ❋ Unknown (2007)
Most people have moral intuitions that are very similar in most ways I accept the rest of Huemer's theory of moral intuitionism, and thus there is strong agreement on moral issues, so it may seem that the standard you're using is objective rather than simply common to almost everyone. ❋ Unknown (2009)
For this reason, I think that the self-ownership thesis cannot be justified by natural law or ethical intuitionism, but instead must be understood as a generalization about a whole set of intuitions or specifications of the natural law as a contractualist, I think it must be justified as a rough generalization of a wide array of justificatory relationships. ❋ Unknown (2009)
There is nothing here that is inconsistent with intuitionism, or even hard for the intuitionist to explain. ❋ Dancy, Jonathan (2009)
