In Rethinking Intuition various thinkers discard intuition as a valid source of knowledge and thereby call into question ‘a priori’ philosophy.

Apparently, such people have been too distracted to follow intuition. It has gotten me past many difficulties, when I have tuned into it and I’ve had many difficulties from ignoring it. Keen intuition requires very close attention.

What you have here is the familiar wave of conservatives who struggle to limit how life, consciousness and awareness are perceived. They play a useful role as a reality check but are not reliable guides for understanding who we are in the world and how it all comes together.
