==="Intuitivism"=== Robert Audi points out that in applied ethics, philosophers frequently appeal to intuitions to justify their claims, even though they do not call themselves intuitionists.{{sfn|Audi|2004|loc=Ch.1}} Audi hence uses the label "intuitivists" to refer to people who are intuitionists without labeling themselves as such. On this broad understanding of intuitionism, there are only a few ways someone doing moral philosophy might ''not ''count as an intuitionist. First, they might really refrain from relying on intuitions in moral philosophy altogether (say, by attempting to derive all moral claims from claims about what certain individuals desire). Second, they might deny foundationalism in favor of (say) [[coherentism]]. Third, they might be non-cognitivists, holding that moral "beliefs" aren't really beliefs at all.
