{"product_id":"the-a-priori-9780198799030","title":"The a Priori","description":"Traditionally, a justification for believing something is \u003cem\u003ea priori\u003c\/em\u003e is if, and only if, it is independent of experience. Throughout Western philosophy since Plato, some of the most divisive questions have been whether \u003cem\u003ea priori \u003c\/em\u003ejustification exists, how it is possible, and how far it reaches. This book is structured around these three main questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first question has recently been modulated as to concern the significance of \u003cem\u003ea priori \u003c\/em\u003ejustification: given the unclarities and presuppositions attached to standard explications of the notion of \u003cem\u003ea priori \u003c\/em\u003ejustification, is it still a useful notion for epistemology? In a tight dialectic, the chapters in this part either attack or defend the theoretical importance of that notion. The second part concerns the sources of \u003cem\u003ea priori\u003c\/em\u003e justification: since \u003cem\u003ea priori \u003c\/em\u003ejustification is not grounded in experience--our arguably best understood source of justification--in what can it be grounded? The chapters in this part explore the possibility that\u003cem\u003e a priori\u003c\/em\u003e justification is grounded either in intuition or in understanding. The third part concerns the extent of \u003cem\u003ea priori\u003c\/em\u003e justification: beyond core cases like mathematical proof, what methods can yield a priori justification? The chapters in this part investigate to what degree and why methods like introspection, testimony, and others have an import on a priori justification. Overall, the book showcases and furthers some of the latest contemporary trends in thinking about these questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dylan Dodd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.28w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198799030","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761360720009,"sku":"9780198799030","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0f731e60-efd4-4ed8-87a3-97bfd5f67066.jpg?v=1779166801","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-a-priori-9780198799030","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
