Contingent A Priori Knowledge
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 83 (2):327-344 (2011)
| Abstract | I argue that you can have a priori knowledge of propositions that neither are nor appear necessarily true. You can know a priori contingent propositions that you recognize as such. This overturns a standard view in contemporary epistemology and the traditional view of the a priori, which restrict a priori knowledge to necessary truths, or at least to truths that appear necessary | |||||||||
