kant is an empiricist however he many times refers to things like math as a priori. a priori meand knowledge independent of observation or experience. this poses a big problem for kant and empiricists however because the empiricists base their ideas on a posteriori judgments, meaning that all knowledge comes form experience. empericists believe that knowldge comes only from experience or observation. this is why a priori judgements present a problem to empiricists. it also makes me wonder why kant uses a priori examples in his writing.
