초록/해제  
요약This dissertation argues for the view that intuitions provide infallible justification for belief. That is, if you're intuitively justified in believing that p, then p. I defend this view of intuition by arguing for three theses: (I) whereas the fallibility of intuitive justification threatens to violate plausible epistemic principles concerning justification, we can safeguard these principles if intuition is infallible; (II) though intuition and perception both consist in a similar phenomenology, there are plausible accounts of this phenomenology where intuition is infallible while perception is fallible; (III) in examining examples where intuitions are believed to be incorrect, it's unclear whether beliefs based on intuition rather than the intuitions themselves were incorrect and so, such cases don't establish that intuitions are incorrect. Chapter 1 provides the background and overview of the project. I first briefly explain prominent accounts of the phenomenology of intuition today. Next, I outline the primary reasons that contemporary epistemologists think that intuitions can be incorrect and so, intuitive justification is fallible. This sets up for the task of the dissertation which is to defend the infallibility of intuition by addressing the key concerns of epistemologists who challenge the infallibility of intuition. Finally, I explain how each dissertation chapter seeks to address these concerns. Chapter 2 argues that accounts where intuitions can be incorrect must be rejected since they violate a very plausible epistemic principle that if you're justified in believing that p, then you're unjustified in believing that you're unjustified in believing that p (Call this principle, META-COHERENCE). If intuitions can be incorrect, then any necessary falsehood can strike someone as true, including falsehoods that will lead to a violation of META-COHERENCE. There's reason to think that those who accept intuition as the source of a priori justification should also accept META-COHERENCE. And so, the problem I raise in this chapter is a serious worry for proponents of intuitive justification. Still, I ultimately argue that an account where intuitions are infallible doesn't face the same worry and should be preferred if, as I attempt to do in subsequent chapters, we can satisfactorily address other concerns with the infallibility of intuition. Chapter 3 addresses the worry that the nature of intuition inevitably allows for cases where it intuitively seems to someone that p though p is false. Intuition is like sense perception in that both consist in a similar phenomenology; but as perceptual seemings can be incorrect, one may think that intuitions could plausibly be incorrect as well. I argue that this argument from the nature of intuition to its fallibility fails. There are plausible accounts of the phenomenology of perception and intuition which entail that perception justifies fallibly while intuition justifies infallibly. I don't argue that anyone endorsing intuition as the source of a priori justification must accept these accounts. Still, I argue that these accounts show that the nature of intuition by itself doesn't ineluctably make intuitions fallible and that the natures of intuition and perception are such that the infallibility of intuition is more plausible than the infallibility of perception. Chapter 4 critiques the most prominent argument against the infallibility of intuition. Many believe that there are clear examples of incorrect intuitions. If Intuitions can be false, then intuitive justification is fallible. I propose a serious challenge to arguing against the infallibility of intuition using alleged counterexamples. It's often too quickly assumed that our intuitions are incorrect in these cases. I'll concede that we have intuitions in many alleged counterexamples to the infallibility of intuition, but it's plausible that we merely formed incorrect beliefs that we mistakenly thought captured correct intuitions. As it's plausible that the beliefs, not the intuitions, are wrong in such cases, these examples don't undermine the claim that intuitions are infallible. Chapter 5 summarizes the key take-aways from the dissertation and proposes avenues for future research on the topic of the infallibility of intuition.
