A Priori Justification

The major divide in contemporary epistemology is between those who embrace and those who reject a priori knowledge.

Albert Casullo provides a systematic treatment of the primary epistemological issues associated with the controversy.

By freeing the a priori from traditional assumptions about the nature of knowledge and justification, he offers a novel approach to resolving these issues which assigns a prominent role to empirical evidence.

He concludes by arguing that traditional approaches to the a priori, which focus primarily on the concepts of necessity and analyticity, are misguided.
