A Priori vs A Posteriori

Показать описание
In this video, we're covering two more crucial pieces of terminology: a priori and a posteriori. These are Latin terms which philosophers use to refer to different methods of obtaining knowledge. A priori knowledge is gained independent of experience: this means that we don't need to use our senses and gather evidence to know it (we simply need our brains!). By contrast, a posteriori knowledge is obtained through experience: we must perform experiments and gather evidence to acquire this form of knowledge.

I know someone's going to explain to me in a different way to what a priori is but from my understanding is that you still need a real experience to learn and understand what concepts are otherwise you wouldn't know what someone's talking about unless someone taught you what that something means or you taught yourself, which if you taught yourself you wouldn't know what you're teaching yourself since you didn't know of the concepts in the first place. So let's say if a kid was dropped off in the middle of the woods and he was able to grow up on his own without any human interaction what would he learn? I would think it would be nothing like what a group of humans were teaching themselves.
