    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Coherentist epistemology (BonJour, Quine) shows beliefs gain justification through mutual support, not hierarchical foundational sources.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If justification is holistic rather than linear, no single source like intuition requires external calibration to avoid vicious regress.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's 'On Certainty' demonstrates that some beliefs function as hinges—structurally immune to calibration demands without epistemic failure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Intuitions functioning as hinge commitments can ground inquiry without generating regress, since calibration requirements don't apply to structural presuppositions.

    Though it has substantial plausibility in connection with various derived epistemic sources such as scientific instruments, it is clear that [P1] runs afoul of the local skepticism constraint. It amounts to a demand which is in principle unsatisfiable. If, as [P1] implies, intuition must be calibrated by some other source, X, then, by [P1], X must itself be calibrated by yet another source of evidence, Y, which must itself be calibrated and so on. Some hold, in virtue of this fact, that it is im
