Talk:A priori

Equivocation Ahoy!
It seems like we're using two distinct senses of a priori, or else offering a really confused definition. For example, "A priori is a Latin term used in formal logic (and philosophy) to mean a fact that is assumed to be true prior to any reasoning or research. A priori conclusions are usually reached through reasoning rather than observation and are the centerpiece of rationalism." The bolded portion seems to be contradictory? Am I wrong or is the article wrong?WilhelmJunker (talk) 09:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right. A priori knowledge is independent of empirical research, bur not reasoning. Röstigraben (talk) 09:21, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent fix here and at someone's ass. Nice work. Diamond (talk) 09:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
