Description
Debating the A Priori presents a series of exchanges between two leading philosophers on how to answer the question: what kind of knowledge could be obtained just by thinking? In this debate, Boghossian and Williamson contribute alternating chapters that develop radically contrasting views and present detailed replies to each other's arguments. The discussion ranges widely across epistemology, the philosophy of language, and metaphilosophy, covering topics such as the nature of basic logical knowledge, the justification for basic deductive inferences, and the status of distinctions between analytic and synthetic. The authors also explore implications for how philosophy itself works, including the relation between reason and experience, the role of language in our understanding of the world, and what it is to do philosophy. The result provides a vivid exposure of some of the main fault lines in contemporary philosophy, and both authors offer conclusions that sum up their positions and place the arguments in context.
