12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 1. Nature of the A Priori

11239	The notion of a priori truth is absent in Aristotle [Aristotle, by Politis]
	Full Idea: The notion of a priori truth is conspicuously absent in Aristotle.
	From: report of Aristotle (works [c.330 BCE]) by Vassilis Politis - Aristotle and the Metaphysics 1.5
	A reaction: Cf. Idea 11240.

12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 2. Self-Evidence

6414	Two propositions might seem self-evident, but contradict one another [Grayling]
	Full Idea: Two propositions might contradict each other despite appearing self-evident when considered separately.
	From: A.C. Grayling (Russell [1996], Ch.2)
	A reaction: Russell's proposal (Idea 5416) is important here, that self-evidence comes in degrees. If self-evidence was all-or-nothing, Grayling's point would be a major problem, but it isn't. Bonjour explores the idea more fully (e.g. Idea 3704)
