Talk by Moon Duchin (University of Michigan)
Arguing from repugnance: philosophy, mathematics, and the crisis of intuition"
Should we take shared intuition to be evidence? In particular, should a strong and widely-held sense of revulsion militate against a principle, whether moral, metaphysical, or mathematical? It is easy to locate arguments from repugnance across many areas of study, from non-Euclidean geometry to the ethics of human cloning. From a starting point of simple mathematical examples, we can track problems with shared intuition through a range of fields and concerns. No mathematical background is assumed. -
