Allegati
In the early 1920s, C.I. Lewis formulated his pragmatic theory of the a priori which formed the heart of his conceptual pragmaticism. He identified propositions that could be known a priori with those that are logically necessary. In the 1930s and 40s he developed a theory of meaning that was to support his epistemology. I look at Lewis’s theory historically, and outline his underlying semantical theory. I also look at the prospects for reconstructing the theory without its verificationist overtones.
