Before perceiving, knowing, or experiencing, people can know some logic and mathematics truths {a priori truth}|. A priori statements are independent of experience, are necessary, are universal, or are about general laws that seem self-evident but are not provable.
test
A priori knowledge is untestable. Can people know anything by reasoning alone? Is any statement true in all cases? Perhaps, untrue assumptions underlie a priori statements.
reasoning
Reasoning can proceed from first principles or from self-analysis and introspection. First principles can use false assumptions and/or invalid tautologies. Personal biases can cause self-analysis and introspection to lead to statements true for only one person.
