PhilPapers Survey – À Priori Knowledge

I commenced a new series that shares my philosophical positions from the PhilPapers 2020 survey.

Video: Intro and question 1 to the survey.

Not a lot to write beyond what the video already says.

My responses are available on my PhilPeople profile. If you really can’t justify watching the 4-minute video clip, read the spoilers below – but it will go down in your permanent record.

Show spoiler (tl;dr?)
  • 73% of respondents accept or lean toward the claim that à priori knowledge exists
  • 18% of respondents reject or lean away from the claim that à priori knowledge exists

My Response: À priori knowledge does not exists. No knowledge exists prior to experience.
