Intuition, Imagination, and Philosophical Methodology Summary

Intuition, Imagination, and Philosophical Methodology by Tamar Szabo Gendler (Yale University)

Tamar Gendler draws together in this book a series of essays in which she investigates philosophical methodology, which is now emerging as a central topic of philosophical discussions. Three intertwined themes run through the volume: imagination, intuition and philosophical methodology. Each of the chapters focuses, in one way or another, on how we engage with subject matter that we take to be imaginary. This theme is explored in a wide range of cases, including scientific thought experiments, early childhood pretense, thought experiments concerning personal identity, fictional emotions, self-deception, Gettier cases, and the general relation of conceivability to possibility. Each of the chapters explores, in one way or another, the implications of this for how thought experiments and appeals to intuition can serve as mechanisms for supporting or refuting scientific or philosophical claims. And each of the chapters self-consciously exhibits a particular philosophical methodology: that of drawing both on empirical findings from contemporary psychology, and on classic texts in the philosophical tradition (particularly the work of Aristotle and Hume.) By exploring and exhibiting the fruitfulness of these interactions, Gendler promotes the value of engaging in such cross-disciplinary conversations in illuminating philosophical issues.

Intuition, Imagination, and Philosophical Methodology Reviews

This book is richly detailed and fully deserves a careful study. Gendler has made strong contributions to the nature of belief, imagination, intuition, and imagination, as well as the role of thought experiments in science and in philosophy. Furthermore, she is making original contributions in the rather neglected field of philosophical methodology. * Soraj Hongladarom, Minds & Machines *
