American philosopher who has defended the evidential authority of intuitions — intuitions are genuine evidence about the a priori — and developed a systematic account of mental properties as sui generis.
Quality and Concept: mental qualities and concepts are sui generis — not reducible to physical or functional properties. A priori knowledge: philosophical intuitions are a non-inferential source of evidence about necessary truths — this grounds modal epistemology. The Incoherence of Empiricism: empiricism cannot account for its own a priori presuppositions.
