She is which is why she is taught in American high schools. She is a socialist in favor of intellectual property and that is all you need to know

Care not to get caught up in concepts of time with respect to a priori. For "before" maybe more accurate to say, "without need of," or logically prior, which logical priority is not at all a temporal priority.

this only just sank in this morning. the implication of 'before' experience implies some kind of universal mind and that is a much bigger argument than I was after. ;)

Thanks, Drake. Combined with some other glances at the difference between apriori and axiom, your post helped this all sink in a little better.

I think it is appropriate to label Hoppe's argumentation as the a priori of argumentation. It's also axiomatic, but I'm thinking that axioms are the starting point of deductive reasoning, no matter how insane the prospects of that deduction.

In other words, all a priori truths are axiomatic, but not all axioms are a priori. That's where my head is at the moment.

terms, not tenets

Thanks, Tim. Maybe it would help to share the problem I'm trying to straighten out in my head.

It regards Hoppe's so-called Apriori of Argumentation. Put simply, one cannot argue that one cannot argue. Is that axiomatic or a priori? If one, why not the other. Thanks.

I'm a relative newbie to philosophical terms like this and already find myself confused by the most basic tenets heheh
