"Ways of knowing are a check on our
instinctive judgements."
- MATHS
- Pure maths is almost entirely based on
abstract concepts, relying heavily on reason
to verify our often incorrect instincts e.g.
piling paper
- All triangles are isosceles:
completely goes against
instincts
- Euclidean algebra based entirely upon
reason

- OED definition of INTUITION: the ability to understand something
instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning: we shall
allow our intuition to guide us, a thing that one knows or considers
likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning
- Perhaps WOK do not help to verify our
intuition at all, but rather give us ways to
evidence preconceived ideas
- We will often sort through a pile of data
and select those that confirm what we
already believe, rationalizing away those
that don't
- RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS
- The Goldilocks Effect: religious people claim that they must

- Link to the "Scientific Method": we are essentially
combining intuition/instinct with WOK to
formulate and check hypotheses
- "It is through science that we prove, but through intuition
that we discover." - Henri Poincare
- NATURAL SCIENCES

- Paradigm shift
- Karl Popper's idea of falsification
- Are scientific discoveries made through reasoning or serendipity?
- "It is through science that we prove, but through intuition
that we discover." - Henri Poincare
- Multiple bias effects impact instinctive judgements
- "Intuition is a suppression
of logic due to impatience." - Rita Mae Brown
- Daniel Khaneman
- Dan Gilbert
- "Intuition is a suppression
of logic due to impatience." - Rita Mae Brown
- Michael Shermer argues that humans are essentially irrational.
Even when they think they are using reason, variables such as
genetic predisposition etc. lead us to our beliefs. Even when we try
and check instinctive judgements using WOK, we cannot
- ETHICS
- Henry Sidgwick - moral common sense
- Our initial judgements can often be
altered when we are provided with
additional information.

- Is abortion ever right?
