    It is not the case that If logical reasoning requires primitive axioms whose warrant is non-inferential, then 'logical reasons' presuppose rather than replace intuitive justification.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Axioms need not have personal intuitive warrant; their justification can be pragmatic (coherence, predictive success) rather than foundational.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim equivocates between 'requiring axioms' and 'presupposing intuitive justification'—axioms might be justified without intuition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Modern logic shows multiple consistent axiom systems; if intuition justified axioms, we couldn't rationally choose between incompatible systems.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.All formal systems require foundational axioms that cannot be derived from within the system without circularity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Non-inferential warrant (like intuitive grasping of axioms) is epistemically distinct from and prior to logical inference chains.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If logical reasoning depends on axioms with non-inferential warrant, then logic cannot eliminate reliance on intuitive justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
