    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Adequacy of representation cannot be established by external comparison.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Some subset of ideas must bear witness to their own adequacy from within—such as Descartes' clear and distinct perceptions or Hume's simple impressions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Self-certifying ideas of this kind constitute a form of intuition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Leibniz grounds knowledge in innate logical principles and demonstrative inference, not sensory or intellectual intuition of particulars.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.For Leibniz, even 'clear and distinct' perception reduces to formal relations between concepts, making deduction—not intuition—foundational.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A tradition grounded primarily in deductive systematicity cannot be accurately characterized as fundamentally intuition-based.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Locke explicitly rejects innate ideas and intellectual intuition, grounding knowledge instead in reflective operations on experiential content.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Locke's 'sensitive knowledge' of external existence is explicitly ranked below intuitive and demonstrative knowledge, subordinating sensation to inferential warrant.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If a central figure in early modern epistemology demotes sensory intuition and denies intellectual intuition, intuition cannot ground the tradition as a whole.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    How, on the Classical view, do we know that an idea is a representation of an object—and an adequate representation? Not, Foucault argues, by comparing the idea with the object as it is apart from its representation. This is impossible, since it would require knowing the object without a representation (when, for Classical thought, to know is to represent). The only possibility is that the idea itself must make it apparent that it is a representation. The idea represents the very fact that it is
