Michael Devitt - There Is No A Priori

Devitt's text is a chapter from the book 'Contemporary Debates in Epistemology, Second Edition', edited by Matthias Steup, John Turri, and Ernest Sosa. In the book, it is paired with a text by Laurence BonJour, which is the subject of the previous video. They take stances in the rationalism / empiricism debate: where BonJour argues that there is a priori knowledge, Devitt argues against this. Victor Gijsbers teaches philosophy at Leiden University in the Netherlands. This video is part of an ongoing look at various philosophical papers:    • Philosophical Papers
