In Defense of Pure Reason: A Rationalist Account of a Priori Justification (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521597456)

This work is concerned with the alleged capacity of the human mind to arrive at beliefs and knowledge about the world on the basis of pure reason without any dependence on sensory experience. Most recent philosophers reject the view and argue that all substantive knowledge must be sensory in origin. Laurence BonJour reopens the debate by presenting an exposition and defence of the rationalist view that a priori insight is a genuine basis for knowledge.
