Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A long-standing conception of rational animals, going back at least to Aristotle, credits us with two species of knowledge—a priori knowledge and self-knowledge—about which it is not clear that we can provide a satisfactory explanation within the framework of a physicalistic naturalistic outlook. The scale, importance, and overall structure of this predicament makes it urgent to study these species of knowledge side by side, and Self-Knowledge and Knowledge A Priori makes a first step in the direction of a coordinated study. The volume includes seventeen original essays written by distinguished or emerging scholars in the field, and it is organized into four main parts: Exceptionalism, Scepticism, Deflationism, and New Directions. Each part juxtaposes essays on self-knowledge, a priori knowledge, or the connections between the two. An extensive introduction provides an overview of the main issues, an explanation of the recommended joint study of self-knowledge and a priori knowledge, and a brief critical discussion of the essays.</jats:p>
