The contributors offer a variety of approaches to the a priori and examine its role in different areas of philosophical inquiry. The editors' introduction offers an idealway into the discussions. This rich and innovative book will repay the attention of anyone working on fundamental issues in epistemology or the philosophies of mind, language, logic, or mathematics.A prioriKnowledge, Theory ofA priori.Knowledge, Theory of.398.2121.3Boghossian Paul A(Paul Artin),1957-1688881Peacocke Christopher307491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968482103321New essays on the a priori4463073UNINA
