17714 | Aristotelians dislike the idea of a priori judgements from pure reason [Mares] |
Full Idea: Aristotelians tend to eschew talk about a special faculty of pure reason that is responsible for all of our a priori judgements. | |
From: Edwin D. Mares (A Priori [2011], 08.9) | |
A reaction: He is invoking Carrie Jenkins's idea that the a priori is knowledge of relations between concepts which have been derived from experience. Nice idea. We thus have an empirical a priori, integrated into the natural world. Abstraction must be involved. |
