The point isnt that I value everything by intuition. The point is that we, all of us, can’t procede without some otherwise unjustified intuitions.
If I am inconsistent and I value consistency, then I have to do something about that. But “consistency is good” is another intuition. As is “moral worth should behave as much like an objective physical property as possible”.
You are probably not accustomed to thinking of things like consistency as subjective intuition , because they seem objective and science-y. But what else are you basing them on? And what are you basing that on?
You seem to be using “intuition” as a way to avoid discussion. Just go up a meta-level and bark “you just used intuition!” at your interlocutor. No further discussion is possible along this path.
No,I am using “intuition” the way philosophers use it, to explain an issue that most philosophers agree (!) exists. I always can say “that depends on an intuition” because it always does. And that’s what you should be worrying about—the nakedness of the emperor, not the pointing.
If you want to discuss how this doesn’t matter , or how you have a solution , fine.
