Surveying Philosophers: a Response to Kuntz & Kuntz

Experimental philosophers have recently questioned the use of intuitions as evidence in philosophical methods. Kuntz and Kuntz (Review of Philosophy and Psychology 4: 643-665, 2011) conduct an experiment suggesting that these critiques fail to be properly motivated because they fail to capture philosophers' preferred conceptions of intuition-use. In this response, it is argued that while there are a series of worries about the design of this study, the data generated by Kuntz and Kuntz support, rather than undermine, the motivation for the experimentalist critiques of intuition they aim to criticize.
