Intuitionism explores objective moral truths in intuitionism through direct perception and intuitive understanding, emphasizing that moral knowledge is distinct from scientific or logical reasoning.
- Moral truths are considered objective yet indefinable, accessed through a special form of consciousness
- Moore's yellow analogy in ethics demonstrates how we recognize goodness intuitively, similar to perceiving colors
- Philosophers like Pritchard and Ross developed frameworks for understanding moral duties and their applications
- The theory addresses how we handle conflicts in prima facie duties and moral decision-making
- While offering immediate moral clarity, intuitionism faces challenges in explaining the metaphysical nature of moral knowledge
