The meaning of "a priori"

Very funny to hear "adult", "smart" speech from the mouth of the baby.Especially it touches, when the little man uses them seems to be the place, but somehow not very well ... And people in years, from the height of his experience and wisdom, indulgent fun of him, calling it a "gag."

looks different situation when an adult in order to seem smarter or better educated, uses in his speech, "beautiful" and "trendy" phrases and expressions, without knowing the exact values.And those mistakes that are forgivable children, look at this situation, to say the least, unattractive.

For example, very few people reflect on the meaning of "a priori", using, between his right and left.But it is a beautiful word of foreign origin means the assertion of something expressed until confirming the fact of experience.

now ponder deeply: whether today priori say anything?That is to say knowing the meaning of "a priori" not based on the previous experience (your own or someone else's) and not fearing the error of his views on the matter.The answer is: almost impossible, because any unsubstantiated statement can be refuted.And this is proved by science.And the meaning of "a priori" just based on the truth of the statement of facts.

For example, the assertion that the inanimate nature can not think, feel, change from human words and thoughts today refuted the results of numerous experiments.It proves the "sense" of inanimate nature experience with ordinary water, which was held here in this way.

The three banks have poured the same water.On the one banks are constantly talking, uttering beautiful and kind words.The second bank "heard" only declarations of love.And here is the third bank "got the full": swearing at her, scandals, interjected.

after freezing test samples taken from all three cans, water molecules are subjected to scrutiny.In the samples of the first two cans molecules have clearly expressed the correct crystal structure of hexagonal star that resembles a snowflake.The molecular structure of the third sloping banks was absolutely unlike any snowflake, or the star.

Similarly, putting a variety of experiments, performing calculations and giving evidence, science has destroyed a set of axioms that people used to believe unconditionally, without going into the essence.Just believe - and all.The land is flat - a priori.Stone always falls to the ground - a priori.Meaning of the word itself has said that not even need to conduct experiments, just believe - and all!

But Copernicus thought that a priori - that's not proof.I picked up and questioned this assertion.And then completely proved to the world the opposite.A space research all surprised by the fact that a stone thrown in the open space, does not seek to Earth ...

Well, this scientific knowledge.But what about in real life?For example, you could say: "Outside the rain and mud, you will go without shoes - a priori, get dirty!" After all, this statement can not be refuted, no matter what tests were not carried out!

Then Oshibochka out.After all, the meaning of "a priori" indicates that the approval should be based on experience.And in this case, the expression is just based on personal experience of the speaker.

But for the adult child's word must be as time and then be priori - indisputable truth that requires no proof.But - alas ... Children also are questioning everything, check everything, "his own skin."And it is, again, experience proves true - the word words, and suddenly it is not so?After all the discoveries are made by people for whom "a priori" - just a beautiful word, nothing more.
