ABSTRACT
This chapter contains a very brief introduction to best theories to capture intuitions, followed by an example. Throughout various different parts of philosophy, it is likely that people will see various positions described as 'intuitive', or 'seeming right'. This is often used as an indicator that the theory or position in question has something going for it. The example is an exercise in thought. It investigates the intuitions of diverse groups on Gettier cases. Most people engaged in academic philosophy report the intuition that red is a superior colour to green. The questions discussed in the chapter are intended to get the philosophy students thinking about the problems. They have used these kinds of questions in seminars as the questions set for seminars, so they also think that they can be used to spark conversation and discussion. The chapter also gives a cursory sketch of some of the ways in which philosophers have responded to the thought experiment.
