| A PRIORI | POSTERIORI |
| BELIEVE THAT IT ALREADY EXISTS IN THE MIND | BELIEVE THAT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE LEARNED THROUGH EXPERIENCE |
| REASONING DOES NOT DEPEND ON EXPERIENCE | REASONING THROUGH THE SENSES |
| SOMETHING I CAN KNOW WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPERIENCE… For Eg: PARENTHOOD… I’M AWARE THAT IT INVOLVES TAKING CARE OF KIDS AND PROVIDING FOR THEM. RATIONALISTS | SOMETHING I CAN KNOW ONLY THROUGH EXPERIENCE… For Eg... LOVE…I CAN SAY HOW IT FEELS ONLY IT I HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF LOVING ANOTHER. EMPIRICISTS |
I have tried to simplify two concepts from a broad perspective...I am trying this for the first time..
More to come..
