A44 has been popular term with philosophers at least since Kant distinguished between priori and posteriori knowledge. Yet, despite the frequency with which it has been used in twentieth century philosophy, there has been little discussion of the concept of apriority.' Some writers seem to take it for granted that there are propositions, such as the truths of logic and mathematics, which are priori; others deny that there are any priori propositions. In the absence of clear characterization of the priori/a posteriori distinction, it is by no means obvious what is being asserted or what is being denied. A is an epistemological predicate. What is primarily priori is an item of knowledge.2 Of course, we can introduce derivative use of a as predicate of propositions:'
