When is a concept a priori?

چکیده
According to Michael Thompson's defence of neo-Aristotelian naturalism in meta-ethics, (i) ‘[t]he concept life-form is a pure or priori, perhaps logical, concept’, and (ii) human, as we human beings have it, an priori concept’ (p. 57). Here I show argument for be unsound, hoping thereby shed light on the neglected subject prioricity concepts more generally.

When is the ring of real measurable functions a hereditary ring?
Let $M(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$ be the ring of real-valued measurable functions on a measure space $(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$. In this paper, we characterize the maximal ideals in the rings of real measurable functions and as a consequence, we determine when $M(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$ is a hereditary ring.
متن کاملEconomic-Statistical Design of a Control Chart for High Yield Processes When the Inspection is Imperfect
CCC-r control chart is a monitoring technique for high yield processes. It is based on the analysis of the number of inspected items until observing a specific number of defective items. One of the assumptions in implementing CCC-r chart that has a significant effect on the design of the control chart is that the inspection is perfect. However, in reality, due to the multiple reasons, the...
متن کاملAnnexations and alliances: When are blocs advantageous a priori?
For any simple voting game (SVG), we consider the question posed in the title from two different points of view as to what voting power means. We also distinguish between blocs imposed by annexation and those formed voluntarily, and present some general theoretical results concerning these notions. We illustrate our theoretical findings with examples using both toy SVGs and the Qualified Majori...
متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
