Text Quotes
Faith in people is an a priori requirement for dialogue  (Priori Quotes) Any necessary truth, whether a priori or a posteriori, could not have turned out otherwise  (Priori Quotes) Whether arrived at through reason or revelation... natural law is the highest law known to man. It is anchored in the very existential nature of man and is therefore a priori just  (Priori Quotes) In fact the a priori reasoning is so entirely satisfactory to me that if the facts won’t fit in, why so much the worse for the facts is my feeling  (Priori Quotes) No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition  (Priori Quotes) Philosophy stands in need of a science which shall determine the possibility, principles, and extent of human knowledge à priori  (Priori Quotes) Natural science physics contains in itself synthetical judgments a priori, as principles... Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions  (Priori Quotes) Upon the solution of this problem, or upon sufficient proof of the impossibility of synthetical knowledge a priori, depends the existence or downfall of metaphysics  (Priori Quotes) The science of constructing a commonwealth or renovating it, or reforming it, is... not to be taught a priori... That which in the first instance is prejudicial may be excellent in its remoter operation, and its excellence may rise even from the ill effects it produces in the beginning. The reverse also happens; and very plausible schemes, with very pleasing commencements, have often shameful and lamentable conclusions  (Priori Quotes) No episode is a priori condemned to remain an episode forever, for every event, no matter how trivial, conceals within itself the possibility of sooner or later becoming the cause of other events and thus changing into a story or an adventure. Episodes are like land mines. The majority of them never explode, but the most unremarkable of them may someday turn into a story that will prove fateful to you  (Priori Quotes) If I cannot say a priori what elementary propositions there are, then the attempt to do so must lead to obvious nonsense  (Priori Quotes) Both a priori reasoning and experience teach us that as as these funds grow larger the geometrical rate of growth by compound interest ultimately defeats itself  (Priori Quotes) What we think of as reality is a continuous synthesis of elements from a fixed hierarchy of a priori concepts and the ever changing data of the senses  (Priori Quotes) The fact is that people would rather cling when they’re afraid of something to a priori beliefs than rather open their minds about it  (Priori Quotes) The science of constructing a commonwealth, or renovating it, or reforming it, is, like every other experimental science, not to be taught a priori. Nor is it a short experience that can instruct us in that practical science, because the real effects of moral causes are not always immediate  (Priori Quotes) My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat--a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy  (Priori Quotes) There are certain questions that scientists may not ask, or, more accurately, for some questions, there are certain answers that scientists must a priori preclude from consideration.  (Priori Quotes) People wonder why there seems to be no meaning in life. Meaning does not exist a priori. There is no meaning existing in life; one has to create it. Only if you create it will you discover it. It has to be invented first. It is not lying there like a rock, it has to be created like a song. It is not a thing, it is significance that you bring through your consciousness  (Priori Quotes) It is possible to demonstrate God's existence, although not a priori, yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us  (Priori Quotes) In attempting to explain geological phenomena, the bias has always been on the wrong side; there has always been a disposition to reason á priori on the extraordinary violence and suddenness of changes, both in the inorganic crust of the earth, and in organic types, instead of attempting strenuously to frame theories in accordance with the ordinary operations of nature  (Priori Quotes) The downside of skepticism: it can easily turn into an arrogant position of a priori rejection of any new phenomenon or idea, a position that is as lacking in critical thinking as the one of the true believer, and that simply does not help either science or the public at large  (Priori Quotes) I can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I’m a journalist. My life’s on the road, my studio is the planet  (Priori Quotes) I can see no justification whatever for the attitude which refuses on purely a priori grounds to accept action at a distance... Such an attitude bespeaks an unimaginativeness, a mental obtuseness and obstinacy  (Priori Quotes) It seems strange to make a priori arguments about the relative performance of governments and the markets in health care when there is so much empirical evidence  (Priori Quotes) In philosophical terms, the opposite of rationalism is not irrationalism but empiricism, that is, a willingness to form beliefs on the basis of experience rather than from a priori deduction. Empirical evidence never yields the dogmatic certainty that accompanies logical deduction  (Priori Quotes) What I most cherish is the observation of the movement of colors. Only in this have I found the laws of those simultaneous and complementary color contrasts that nourish the actual rhythm of my vision. In this I find the actual essence, an essence which is not born out of an a priori system or theory  (Priori Quotes) Evolution advances, not by a priori design, but by the selection of what works best out of whatever choices offer. We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship  (Priori Quotes) The exact sciences also start from the assumption that in the end it will always be possible to understand nature, even in every new field of experience, but that we may make no a priori assumptions about the meaning of the word understand  (Priori Quotes) Notwithstanding their attacks on the basic conception of rationalism, on synthetic a priori judgments, that is, material propositions that cannot be contradicted by any experience, the empiricists posits the forms of being as constant  (Priori Quotes) I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is in fact in nature  (Priori Quotes)
