based on or derived from (in the sense of being justified by) sensory experience, referring to knowledge or justification that is, or hypotheses that are empirical Cosmological and teleological arguments for the existence of God are deemed a posteriori Compare a priori
A sentence, proposition, thought, or judgement is a posteriori (literally "after") if its truth is dependent on how our actual experience (experiment and observation) turns out Many have thought that the truths of the empirical, or nonmathematical, sciences are entirely a posteriori, though the rationalists and some recent philosophers such as S Kripke & N Chomsky seem to deny this Some take synthetic and a posteriori to be equivalence See a priori
Immanuel Kant - empirical This represents knowledge which we have after a sense experience The new knowledge we have is based upon our old experiences and now, new experiences Note this is an empiricist emphasis
