George Bealer (1944-2025) was an American philosopher and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Yale University.
[1][2][3][4] Bealer is particularly well known for his work on the nature of the a priori and philosophical intuitions, where he defended the reliability of intuitions as a source of evidence in philosophical inquiry.
He was the author of Quality and Concept (Clarendon Press, 1983), which developed a unified theory of properties, relations, and propositions.
[5] He also co-edited The Waning of Materialism (2010) with Robert C. Koons, a volume addressing contemporary philosophical debates on the nature of mind and materialism.
He completed his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley.
