The Human A Priori is a collection of essays by A.W. Moore, one of
them previously unpublished and the rest all revised. These essays
are all concerned, more or less directly, with something
ineliminably anthropocentric in our systematic pursuit of a priori
sense-making. Part I deals with the nature, scope, and limits of a
priori sense-making in general. Parts II, III, and IV deal with
what are often thought to be the three great exemplars of the
systematic pursuit of such sense-making: philosophy in the case of
Part II, ethics in the case of Part III, and mathematics in the
case of Part IV. Much of the attention throughout is devoted to the
work of other philosophers: Kant and Wittgenstein feature
prominently, and five of the essays take the form of reviews or
critical notices of recent work in philosophy. But the interest in
never purely exegetical. One of the lessons that emerges from the
essays, either in opposition to the views of these other
philosophers or by invocation of their views, is that we humans
achieve nothing of real significance in philosophy, ethics, or
mathematics except from a human point of view, and hence that all
three of these pursuits can be said to betoken what may reasonably
be called 'the human a priori'.
