Lila Mae's own description of the position of the early inspectors reveals the larger implications of the development of such a revolutionary approach as Intuitionism.

Vaughn and Dacey present various naturalistic and rationalist theories and settle on modern intuitionism, which they define as the use of "moral intuitions--specifically, our duties to promote good consequences, respect person, and care for those who care for us--as criteria for judging the correctness of our actions," as a plausible moral theory.

John Rawls's "intuitionism" is held up for criticism, but that Rawls explicitly rejected the claims of intuitionism as a theory of justice passes without mention.
