I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, apologies if I should have done it somewhere else.
I’ve been taking a course on epistemology, and there’s a large chapter on the distinction between a priori and a posteriori (empirical) knowledge.
Is there a standard way of pronouncing these two phrases in English? This is a distance written course so I don’t have a teacher pronouncing this for me, so I looked up a priori and a posteriori knowledge on Youtube and I’ve heard at least three different ways of pronouncing ’a priori’ ( [a pree-yo-ra-ee], [a prayoree], [ey preeoree]). It’s unlikely I’m ever going to need to say those words out loud to anyone, but I wonder which pronunciation is the most usual.
Thanks!
