The distinction between the a priori and the a posteriori is an old
and influential one. But both the distinction itself and the
crucial notion of a priori knowledge face powerful philosophical
challenges. Many philosophers worry that accepting the a priori is
tantamount to accepting epistemic magic. In contrast, this Element
argues that the a priori can be formulated clearly, made
respectable, and used to do important epistemological work. The
author's conception of the a priori and its role falls short of
what some historical proponents of the notion may have hoped for,
but it allows us to accept and use the notion without abandoning
either naturalism or empiricism, broadly understood. This Element
argues that we can accept and use the a priori without magic.
