 Anti-descriptivism itself doesn’t entail that appeal to intuitions is philosophically irrelevant. Indeed, some of the most influential arguments against descriptivist theories of reference seem to depend on intuitions (Devitt 2015). However, some argue that rather than relying on intuitions about kinds, we should investigate the kinds themselves. So, if the concept knowledge picks out a natural kind, we can consult the distribution and characteristics of knowledge as it is instantiated in the world. Using intuitions to understand knowledge would be like using intuitions to understand gold. The way we come to understand the nature of gold is to examine samples of gold rather than people’s intuitions about gold. Similarly, the way to understand knowledge is to examine samples of knowledge as it presents in animals, rather than people’s intuitions about knowledge (Kornblith 2002). To examine knowledge by intuitions is at best inefficient, and at worst a complete distraction from the task of understanding what knowledge is. This objection is primarily directed at traditional forms of conceptual analysis, but insofar as experimental philosophy focuses on intuitions, it is in the same leaky boat (Kornblith 2013: 197).
