Reviews

a wonderfully clear, largely well-argued case against a central assumption of many contemporary metaphilosophers ... I highly recommend it. Daniel Cohnitz, Disputatio engaging and exciting ... Philosophy Without Intutions represents a clear jolt to contemporary metaphilosophical orthodoxy. It is a vivid and powerful call for philosophers to examine their assumptions about philosophy. Anyone interested in the role of intuitions in philosophy or the proper description of contemporary philosophical practice will benefit from studying it. Jonathan Ichikawa, International Journal for Philosophical Studies an excellent contribution to the ongoing debate Stephen Ingram, Metaphilosophy
