12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 5. A Priori Synthetic

23500	My main problem is the order of the world, and whether it is knowable a priori [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: The great problem around which everything turns that I write is: is there an order in the world a priori, and if so what does it consist in?
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Notebooks 1914-1916 [1915], 15.06.01)
	A reaction: Morris identifies this as a 'Kantian question'. I trace it back to stoicism. This question has never bothered me. It just seems weird to think that you can infer reality from the examination of your own thinking. Perhaps I should take it more seriously?
