    It is not the case that [P1] is false

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.[P1] implies intuition must be calibrated by another source, generating a regress
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If justified belief is possible in suitable circumstances despite this regress, then [P1] is false
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 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 against 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
