 The interesting feature of Cornell realism, for our purposes, is that despite the fact that spontaneous moral beliefs—that some refer to as intuitions—play a significant role, a priori justification plays no significant role in its moral epistemology. Both our more particular moral beliefs and our moral theories will be justified in virtue of their coherence, not their self-evidence; the considered moral judgments that are significant members of the coherent system of moral beliefs, and that some see as old-fashioned intuitions, are interpreted as observations, not rational insights. For Cornell realism, the justification of our moral beliefs crucially depends upon experience, specifically, moral observation.
