===Early intuitionism=== While there were ethical intuitionists in a broad sense at least as far back as [[Thomas Aquinas]], the philosophical school usually labelled as ethical intuitionism developed in Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries.{{sfn|Audi|2004|p=5}} Early intuitionists like [[John Balguy]], [[Ralph Cudworth]], and [[Samuel Clarke]] were principally concerned with defending [[moral universalism|moral objectivism]] against the theories of [[Thomas Hobbes]].{{sfn|Stratton-Lake|2013|p=339}} Later, their views would be revived and developed by [[Richard Price]] and pitted against the moral sense theory of [[Francis Hutcheson (philosopher)|Francis Hutcheson]],{{sfn|Sidgwick |1931|pp=224β226}} himself sometimes considered a sentimentalist intuitionist.{{snf|Stratton-Lake|2013}} [[Immanuel Kant]]'s moral philosophy would be received in Britain as a German analog to Price,{{sfn|Sidgwick |1931|p=271}} though according to [[R. M. Hare]] it is questionable whether Kant is an intuitionist.{{sfn|Hare|1997|pp=147β149}}
