My class is super unfocused so we often move so slowly i get confused. Your videos are life saving especially as my teacher was off for a month. Thank you!

Intuitionism is cognitive. But from the video i got that this is not the case. Any help would be appreciated

[@EddieEducation]

Intuitionism is a peculiar one, in that it suggests that good exists as an objective entity. However, our perception of it is entirely subjective, and thus cannot be proven or disproven (like a blik), making it non-cognitive. The way that I would express it is that discussions about the existence of 'Good' and 'Bad', 'Right' and 'Wrong' are cognitive, in that they refer to a thing that exists, even if not directly (see weak verification principle for how we can cognitively discuss something that we can't prove immediately). However, our own understanding of this experience is non-cognitive. Maybe an example would help. Yellow is a colour that exists in a cognitive manner - we can talk about things being yellow in terms of true or false ("is this yellow?" yes/no). However, your yellow and my yellow may look different to each of us, but neither of us can compare how our respective 'yellows' look. So the experience that we have is totally personal, and thus non-cognitive. I hope that this helps.
