DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>[All seminars] 17:00 to 18:30 pm (GMT+0): https://meet.google.com/odf-sdnr-grw</strong></p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Rationalism is criticised for appealing to a &ldquo\;mysterious&rdquo\; faculty of rational intuition to explain how a priori knowledge is possible. Empiricism is typically motivated by opposition to rationalism\, by offering a purportedly &ldquo\;non-mysterious&rdquo\; account of the a priori. In this paper I defend rationalism. I argue that the rationalist appeal to rational intuition as the source of the a priori is no more mysterious than the empiricist appeal to understanding. I further argue that our best empiricist accounts of the a priori do not provide an alternative to rationalism as the fundamental explanation they offer of the a priori is one that could equally be endorsed by a rationalist&mdash\;and that they fail for reasons that do not undermine rationalism. I conclude that rationalism still offers the best route to explain the a priori.</p>
