Abstract

I will be discussing not Kant, but a Kantian issue. The issue is the classical question of how a priori truths are possible. I will outline an approach to this issue, an approach the availability of which seems to me to have been overlooked in the discussion of these matters in our century. The account I have to offer does, though, bear on several Kantian concerns and Kantian projects, and I will try to indicate these links.
