 A rather different way to challenge the study of intuitions in experimental philosophy is to deny that the study of intuitions is an apt subject matter for philosophical inquiry. On this view, we can grant that it’s a fact that philosophers rely on intuitions, but it’s a lamentable fact. The use of intuitions in philosophy is misguided for reasons that have nothing in particular to do with experimental philosophy—the appeal to intuitions is a relic, which should be rejected because it doesn’t actually answer the philosophical questions. This conclusion threatens positive applications of experimental philosophy (see, e.g.,  sections 2.2–2.4),  but is of course, perfectly consistent with the conclusion urged by the negative program in experimental philosophy  (section 2.1).
