On the Dispositional Aspect of Geometric Intuitions and its Epistemic Fundamentality

24 June 2026, 6-8pm, Trier University Venue: P14

Geometric intuitions can be of different sorts and vary in their level  
of complexity, such as Euclidean first postulates, Non-Euclidean ideas  
(which need further theoretical assumptions to be accommodated), or  
various kinds of applications in less abstract theories (e.g.,  
spacetime curvature or rotations). In this work, I will consider some  
problems that a structuralist view may face in giving an account of  
geometric intuitions, as well as their accommodation. As argued, these  
may be better accounted for on the basis of dispositional properties  
at a fundamental epistemic level. However, it may be questioned  
whether these are needed at non-fundamental levels as well.
