  Whether this account helps intuitionists will depend on a more general metaphilosophical debate about the role of intuitions in philosophy, and whether intuitions justify. There is a difference, though. The more general debate is about whether intuitions provide evidence for believing or rejecting certain theories, whereas the intuitionist needs intuitions to justify beliefs with the same content. Secondly, there might be reason to think that although intuitions can provide justification in other areas of philosophy, they cannot do that in morality. For instance, one might think that people’s moral intuitions vary too much to be reliable indicators of truth, or that in morality emotions can distort our intuitions (see Sinnott-Armstrong, 2006), or that we only have the moral intuitions we do because having those beliefs has survival value (Street, 2006).
