12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 9. A Priori from Concepts
The concepts needed for a priori thought may come from experience [Audi,R]
     Full Idea: I may well need experience to acquire the concepts needed for knowledge of the a priori, such as the concept of a colour.
     From: Robert Audi (Epistemology: contemporary introduction [1998], IV p.103)
Red and green being exclusive colours seems to be rationally graspable but not analytic [Audi,R]
     Full Idea: The proposition that nothing is red and green all over at once is not analytic, but it is rationally graspable, so it seems to be an a priori synthetic proposition.
     From: Robert Audi (Epistemology: contemporary introduction [1998], IV p.100)
