Most contemporary philosophers (71.1%, according to a recent
survey) believe that a priori knowledge is really possible. Indeed,
since the late 1980s there has been a renewed and steadily growing
interest in rationalism and the a priori; and gradually what George
Bealer has dubbed a "rationalist renaissance" has emerged onto the
contemporary philosophical scene. At the same time, however, even
despite this renaissance, the core notion of "rational intuition"
has not been either adequately defended or fully developed,
especially as regards solving its two core problems:
(1) "how rational intuitions can sufficiently justify beliefs," and
(2) "how to explain the real possibility of rational intuitions."
Given that unstable dialectical situation, this book is an attempt
to respond critically, directly, and decisively to the most
important contemporary skeptical anti-rationalist attacks on
intuitions and a priori knowledge in philosophy, and to defend
"neo-rationalism" from a contemporary Kantian standpoint, with a
special focus on the theory of rational intuitions and on solving
its two core problems.
