Does the Aristotelian scientific man, by fear of mingling Philosophy and
Practice, also refrain from comparing a posteriori conceptions with
those found a priori?
DIVISION OF TRIADIC RELATIONS
233. The principles and analogies of Phenomenology enable us to
describe, in a distant way, what the divisions of triadic relations must
be. But until we have met with the different kinds a posteriori, and
have in that way been led to recognize their importance, the a priori
descriptions mean little; not nothing at all, but little. Even after we
seem to identify the varieties called for a priori with varieties which
the experience of reflexion leads us to think important, no slight
labour is required to make sure that the divisions we have found a
posteriori are precisely those that have been predicted a priori. In
most cases, we find that they are not precisely identical, owing to the
narrowness of our reflexional experience. It is only after much further
arduous analysis that we are able finally to place in the system the
conceptions to which experience has led us.
