Sažetak
The component of knowledge, to which the a priori/a posteriori distinction primarily applies, is justification. The main question is then how can we justify propositions which are said to be known a priori. Contemporary debate focuses on a variety of rationalist’s and empiricist’s accounts which are trying to give an explanation of our a priori knowledge and/or justification – the former by establishing the existence of rational intuition as a source of such justification, and the latter by denying it and adopting alternative solutions. Neither proponents nor opponents of the rational intuition offer convincing arguments for their position. I will try to defend the existence of rational intuition from the naturalistic standpoint and argue that certain epistemological kind of moderate naturalistic approach is not committed to the denial of the a priori. Moreover, I will explore whether it has better standing in this debate than rationalism and empiricism, that is, whether it can give better explanation of rational intuition as the source of a priori justification and knowledge.
