Knowledge that has no source in experience can be termed as :

  • A.A priori
  • B.A posteriori
  • C.Tentative
  • D.Synthetic

Answer: A

Knowledge with no source in experience is a priori.

Since Kant, a priori knowledge is knowledge whose justification is independent of experience, such as mathematical truths or 'every event has a cause' on Kant's account. A posteriori knowledge is derived from or justified by experience.

'Synthetic' concerns the content of a judgment (the predicate adds to the subject concept) and can be either a priori or a posteriori, so it does not answer the question. 'Tentative' describes how firmly a belief is held, not its source.
