Professors Cappon and Myers agree that the process of intuition is an important way to attain knowledge. However Myers criticizes intuition as a perilous means of knowing. This paper will demonstrate that‚ perhaps instinct is not a foolproof means of attaining knowledge‚ nevertheless reasoning and logic can fail us as well.

medieval thinking plays in the general development of both renaissance and post renaissance philosophy up till today.

Epistemology is the study of our right to the beliefs we have. More generally‚ we start from what we might call our cognitive stances‚ and ask whether we do well to have those stances.
