A posteriori  -  An a posteriori truth is a truth that is arrived at by observing the world. An a posteriori argument involves gathering evidence from experience and reasoning from that evidence. For example, the fact that John has blonde hair would be a truth that we can know based on a posteriori reasoning. The fact that heat is molecular motion would be another such fact. Many philosophers claim that all substantive facts about the world are a posteriori, and that all arguments for substantive facts must be a posteriori arguments.
