  Charles Parsons (Harvard University): Intuition revisited

  Abstract

  The talk will revisit two conceptions of intuition that occur in 
earlier writings of mine, particularly my 2008 book Mathematical Thought 
and its Objects. The first, more widespread in philosophical literature, 
might be called "rational intuition." It is not intrinsically 
spatio-temporal. Gödel is its main proponent in philosophy of 
mathematics. Some remarks will be made about the appearance of this 
conception in general epistemological literature, where the focus is on 
the use of "intuitions" in philosophy.
  The second is a conception of intuition in arithmetic, distantly 
derived from Kant's but more closely inspired by Brouwer and especially 
Hilbert. A modified version will be presented, designed to meet 
objections by Felix Mühlhölzer. If time permits we will examine the 
question whether the revised conception allows intuitive knowledge of 
arithmetic short of exponentiation.
