Philosophers appeal to intuitions while constructing, shaping, and redefining their philosophical theories or concepts. Of the various roles that intuition plays like its role in the acquisition of mathematical and logical knowledge, one is philosophical theorizing. Philosophers don't question their intuitions, at least intuitions of singular classificational propositions as they consider their intuitions to be a Basic Evidential Source as other sources like perception, testimony etc. However, intuition's role as prima facie evidence in philosophy has been challenged by a number of philosophers. Thus, this paper attempts to expound on the reliability of intuition in philosophical theorising as prima facie evidence and also calls attention to the debate between naturalists and antinaturalists with regard to the epistemic character of intuition.
