Rational Intuition: Philosophical Roots, Scientific Investigations by Lisa M. Osbeck (PDF)

Description

What is intuition? What constitutes an intuitive process? Why are intuition concepts important? After many years of scholarly neglect, interest in intuition is now exploding in psychology and cognitive science. Moreover, intuition is also enjoying a renaissance in philosophy. Yet no single definition of intuition appears in contemporary scholarship; there is no consensus on the meaning of this concept in any discipline. Rational Intuition focuses on conceptions of intuition in relation to rational processes. Covering a broad range of historical and contemporary contexts, prominent philosophers, psychologists, and cognitive scientists explore how intuition is implicated in rational activity in its diverse forms. In bringing the philosophical history of intuition into novel dialogue with contemporary philosophical and empirical research, Lisa M. Osbeck and Barbara S. Held invite a comparison of the conceptions and functions of intuition, thereby clarifying and advancing conceptual analysis across disciplines.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The unusual title of this book captures a subject that is so fundamental to our thinking–the valuable mixture of two fundamental forms of thinking. The volume contains chapters by psychologists and by philosophers drawing on empirical work and theory and also on the history of this topic in philosophy. As is especially needed, the editors’ introductory chapter lays out a very useful guide to examination of this range of scholarship.
