know our notions a priori. The descriptivist account of reference fixing thus forges a close link between the semantic properties of natural kind terms and our a priori knowl-edge about natural kinds. Given the modal character of reference fixing, descriptivism implies this: (CA) We know a priori that our K-notion holds true of all and any Ks.
This book presents a systematic discussion of the development of Husserl’s concept of the a priori from his early and through his later writings. The chapters contained herein analyze the different phases and aspects of Husserl’s phenomenology of the a priori in light of his twofold notion of reason, construed as both ontological and ...
