A priori and a posteriori - Article Chosen.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because my Philosophy 390: Contemporary Philosophy class has discussed the use of a priori. We have learned how a priori can be problematic for logic and providing knowledge for certain philosophers. I think this article was a good foundation to the topic of priori and posteriori. It was on the short side, but nonetheless a work in progress.

The article provided clear definitions of the topic as well as its history/origins. I will say I felt as thought the article lacked a variety of examples for such complex concepts. It had a total of three major sections, which seemed small. The “Aprioricity, analyticity, and necessity” and “History” sections had a similar amount of content, which was an indication of its overall balance.

In regards to references/sources, the editors provided a decent amount for the length of the article. I will also acknowledge that although the article was not developed enough, the Talk page among editors was detailed and thorough. It included grammar corrections and ideas for more concise and accurate paragraphs.
