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. An a priori is not a truth that can never be said or actually assigned to experience; but a given history, because those are the things that were actually said.” —Michel Foucault.
