A priori and a posteriori
The terms a priori ("from the earlier") and a posteriori ("from the later") are used in philosophy (epistemology) to distinguish two types of knowledge, justifications or arguments. A priori knowledge or justification is independent of experience (for example "All bachelors are unmarried"); a posteriori knowledge or justification is dependent on experience or empirical evidence (for example "Some bachelors are very happy"). A posteriori justification makes reference to experience; but the issue concerns how one knows the proposition or claim in question—what justifies or grounds one's belief in it. Galen Strawson wrote that an a priori argument is one in which "you can see that it is true just lying on your couch. You don't have to get up off your couch and go outside and examine the way things are in the physical world. You don't have to do any science." There are many points of view on these two types of assertions, and their relationship is one of the oldest problems in modern philosophy.

A priori
Die lateinische Redewendung a priori (lat. „vom Früheren her“), welche von Aristoteles noch als vorausgehende Seinsursache verstanden wurde, bezeichnet ab Descartes das, was als Bedingung und Grundlage des Wissens von der Erfahrung als solcher unabhängig ist. Der Gegensatz von a priori ist a posteriori.

A priori
A priori, locution latine, a d'abord servi à désigner un raisonnement qui va de la cause à l'effet. Ce sens se rencontre au Moyen Âge, chez Descartes et encore chez Leibniz ; par exemple, une preuve a priori de l'existence de Dieu est une preuve qui part de ce qui est premier par nature (natura). Néanmoins, Leibniz l'emploie aussi déjà en son autre sens qui est le plus courant.

A priori
A priori är ett uttryck för att beskriva kunskap som innehas från början eller före någon given händelse. Ordet kommer från latin och betyder från den förra, det som föregår eller det som kommer innan. Motsatsen är a posteriori.

A priori
a priori – wyrażenie łacińskie (oznaczające "z czegoś, co już było"), które w filozofii Zachodu od czasów Immanuela Kanta nabrało powszechnego znaczenia na określenie tego, co pierwotne, uprzednie lub wcześniejsze i nie podlegające dowodzeniu – stało się antonimem określenia a posteriori dla tego, co wtórne. Jest to w pewnym sensie równoważne określeniu założenie.
