It is true that we have the “intuition” of an independent entity that is the “I.” But we also once had the “intuition” that behind a storm there was Jove. And that the Earth was flat. It is not through uncritical “intuitions” that we construct an effective comprehension of reality. Introspection is the worst instrument of inquiry if we are interested in the nature of mind: it is tantamount to looking for our own prejudices and wallowing in them.
