Abstract

The previous chapter noted that the notion of a priori tacitly used by Gergen (and
Shotter, on occasion) is that of the logical positivists. For them, as for Gergen, a
priori means "before knowledge", but not "for all time" and not "independent of
experience", and they use this notion because they reject a thoroughgoing empiricism whilst claiming to avoid a defining characteristic of idealism—rationalism.
