10. Modality / B. Possibility / 8. Conditionals / d. Non-truthfunction conditionals
14303 Truth-functional conditionals have a simple falsification, when A is true and B is false [Peirce]
10. Modality / D. Knowledge of Modality / 1. A Priori Necessary

20471 Epistemic a priori conditions concern either the source, defeasibility or strength [Casullo]
20477 The main claim of defenders of the a priori is that some justifications are non-experiential [Casullo]
