099: A Priori vs A Posteriori Justifications and Violence

Talk Back to Me

Why are our leaders setting us up for failure? Which ones are aware of the trap, and which ones are merely following the language of the crowd? As we continue to ask the question of When is Violence moral, if ever, we recognize that we are running on the edge of a razor between two devastating outcomes. Be it incarceration. failure, or damnation, we are not ignorant fools playing with fire, but something like Prometheus in the contemporary age, with the warning not going unnoticed. 

A Priori and A Posteriori are terms familiar to those who regularly engage with rigorous philosophy, and for good reason. Although primarily and epistemic question, the findings we conclude echo through what we believe about morality, responsibility, and violence. 

A Priori: Knowledge that is justified without empirical evidence/experience. 
A Posteriori: Knowledge that is justified by observation/evidence/experience. 

So, in this case, is there a reason why almost all of our examples for justifying being capable of violence based on the potential future of an attack?
