and i agree.......however, there does exist reasoning that can be justified as "empirically free"..............i mean, you can get into this whole debate of where all memories blah blah blah are nothing more than an extent of your senses.....but such an argument is borderline behavorism......i don't feel like get too far into it, but as i am a substance-dualist, i believe that there is a "mind" where reasoning a-priori does not necessarily depend on empiricism at all.........and stop attacking me damnit........all i know is what i have read, studied, and took for my philo degree.......from my standpoint, i do believe in the metaphysical and the "mind" has some connection to it......
