• Sommario/riassunto: A stellar line-up of leading philosophers from around the world offer new treatments of a topic which has long been central to philosophical debate, and in which there has recently been a surge of interest. The a priori is the category of knowledge that is supposed to be independent of experience. 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.
