Conclusion
Having canvassed some of the more popular ways of defending the tradition, we can see that there is a common theme to these defenses, namely, the suggestion that experimental philosophers simply haven't been studying the right kind of thing, and that this means that experimental philosophy has little to contribute to our understanding of traditional philosophical practice.
But, we've seen that philosophical intuitions play an important role in doing at least some of the work that philosophers want to do, and that attempts to delimit whose intuitions matter or what intuitions matter leave open empirical questions that call for more experimental philosophy rather than less. It is also worth noticing that, since each of these ways of defending the tradition involves something of a departure from some rather common ways of thinking about the tradition, we find ourselves in the somewhat paradoxical position of defending experimental philosophy by defending these ways of thinking about the tradition just so that we can turn right around and challenge those ways of thinking all over again.
