Introduction
Philosophical intuitions play a significant role in contemporary philosophy. Philosophical intuitions provide data to be explained by our philosophical theories, evidence that may be adduced in arguments for their truth, and reasons that may be appealed to for believing them to be true.
In this way, the role and corresponding epistemic status of intuitional evidence in philosophy is similar to the role and corresponding epistemic status of perceptual evidence in science.1 Since experimental philosophy grows out of this way of thinking about philosophy, understanding experimental philosophy requires thoughtful and careful examination of the nature of philosophical intuitions and the role that they play in contemporary philosophy. As such, we begin at the beginning, with the story of philosophical intuitions and their role in contemporary philosophical practice.2.
