    It is not the case that Abstractive cognition is also somewhat intuitive

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Intuitive cognition, for Ockham and the nominalist tradition, requires the actual presence or existence of the object as a causal condition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Abstractive cognition by definition proceeds independently of whether its object exists or is present, operating through retained species.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A mode of cognition that is indifferent to the existence of its object cannot satisfy the causal-existential requirement definitive of intuition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Immediacy of cognitive access to a species is distinct from immediacy of access to the extra-mental object itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Intuitive cognition requires immediate epistemic contact with the res as it exists in the world, not merely with its mental representation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Conflating immediacy of species-apprehension with intuitive cognition of the object commits a category error between cognitive vehicle and cognitive target.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.In abstractive cognition, the species of the object is known immediately
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Whatever is known immediately is known intuitively
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
