In portuguese, we use this words very often.

_A priori_ is something that comes "before", something that we can assume, expect to already be there or as a base to start a thougth line

_a posteriori_ we use it as something that comes "after", something that the thing we are talking about will impact in the future or as a consequense.

from its Latin root I was assuming it'd pronounce like 'ah-pree-oree' and was shocked it is acutally 'ae-prai-orai' Has it changed the way people pronounce it over time or it's been 'ae-prai-orai' from the beginning, just like the word prior?

how do you define "knowledge" but, and isn't there a distinction (particularly in Kant) between "cognition" and "knowledge" ?

Hi Prof Jago. Thank you for the upcoming series. I've just thought about this question recently. In propositional logic, can two atomic propositions have the exact same meaning? My intuition say 'yeah', just like in first-order logic, two variables can denote the same exact thing. But I'm not sure... Do you know if the word 'formal system' means the exact same thing as the word 'logical system'?

Music is distracting. It's like having music over the PA while in class or a band playing in the next classroom while the teach is speaking. Some people might like that. I pose you could get more views by having a music/no music option.
