Intuition doesn't always go very far.
We know it well enough to interact quite happily with the world, but I'd argue it's always subjective.

Intuition is, it seems to me, massively important to philosophy.
Most of what philosophy does is to try to come up with a definition of a thing that is both logically consistent and roughly fits in with our intuition.

I thought the exact opposite (my first degree was part philosophy).
I never saw any reason to assume that the logical conclusion would coincide with my intuitive beliefs.
