Photo: Ino Sigaze. I want to point out that a priori is not a validity requirement for judgments, but a reality requirement for statements. It is [...] a matter of [...] uncovering the conditions under which propositions arose, the laws of their coexistence with others, the specific forms of their modes of existence and the principles by which they persist, change and disappear.
