A Priori Reasons: Two Difficult Notions and an Even More Difficult Connection

Wolfgang Spohn · 2009

This will provide us with the basic explication of the notion of a reason and with the basic distinction of unrevisable and defeasible apriority. And it will lead us to new and instructive connections between reasons and apriority.
