Our derivative knowledge always depends upon some pure a priori knowledge and usually also depends upon some pure empirical knowledge.

我们的衍生知识总是依赖于一些纯粹的先验知识，通常也依赖于一些纯粹的经验知识。

This proposition is of great importance, and goes a long way towards solving our previous difficulties concerning a priori knowledge.

这个命题非常重要， 对解决我们先前关于先验知识的困难大有帮助。

In this way what seemed mysterious in our a priori knowledge is seen to have been based upon an error.

通过这种方式， 我们先验知识中看似神秘的东西被认为是基于错误。

But Kant undoubtedly deserves credit for two things: first, for having perceived that we have a priori knowledge which is not purely 'analytic', i.e.

但康德无疑在两件事上值得赞扬：首先， 因为他认识到我们拥有一种不是纯粹“分析的” 的先验知识， 即。

This world is of great importance to philosophy, and in particular to the problems of a priori knowledge.

这个世界对哲学非常重要， 尤其是对先验知识的问题。

This suggests a proposition which we shall now endeavour to establish: namely, All a priori knowledge deals exclusively with the relations of universals.

这提出了一个我们现在将努力建立的命题：即所有先天知识都专门处理共相的关系。

A priori knowledge is not all of the logical kind we have been hitherto considering. Perhaps the most important example of non-logical a priori knowledge is knowledge as to ethical value.

先验知识并不都是我们迄今为止一直在考虑的逻辑类型。也许非逻辑先验知识最重要的例子是关于伦理价值的知识。

Thus all knowledge which asserts existence is empirical, and the only a priori knowledge concerning existence is hypothetical, giving connexions among things that exist or may exist, but not giving actual existence.

因此，所有断言存在的知识都是经验性的，而关于存在的唯一先验知识是假设性的，给出存在或可能存在的事物之间的联系，但不给出实际存在。

This consideration will occupy us in the following chapter, where we shall find that it solves the problem of a priori knowledge, from which we were first led to consider universals.

这一考虑将占据下一章， 在那里我们将发现它解决了先验知识的问题， 我们最初是从这个问题开始考虑共相的。

The phenomenon, being a joint product of us and the thing in itself, is sure to have those characteristics which are due to us, and is therefore sure to conform to our a priori knowledge.

现象作为我们与自在之物的共同产物，必然具有我们应有的那些特征，因此必然符合我们的先验知识。

His chief reason in favour of this view is that we seem to have a priori knowledge as to space and time and causality and comparison, but not as to the actual crude material of sensation.

他支持这种观点的主要原因是我们似乎对空间和时间以及因果关系和比较具有先验知识，但对感觉的实际原始材料却没有。

Thus in spite of the existence of a priori knowledge, we cannot know anything about the thing in itself or about what is not an actual or possible object of experience.

因此，尽管存在先验知识， 但我们无法了解关于事物本身的任何信息， 也不能了解不是实际或可能的经验对象的事物。

Thus according to the philosophers before Kant, the law of contradiction, which asserts that nothing can at the same time have and not have a certain property, sufficed to establish the truth of all a priori knowledge.

因此，根据康德之前的哲学家，矛盾律断言任何事物都不能同时具有和不具有某种属性，足以确立所有先验知识的真实性。

Apart from minor grounds on which Kant's philosophy may be criticized, there is one main objection which seems fatal to any attempt to deal with the problem of a priori knowledge by his method.

除了可能批评康德哲学的次要理由外，还有一个主要的反对意见似乎对任何试图用他的方法处理先验知识问题的尝试都是致命的。

Returning now to the problem of a priori knowledge, which we left unsolved when we began the consideration of universals, we find ourselves in a position to deal with it in a much more satisfactory manner than was possible before.

现在回到我们开始考虑共相时没有解决的先验知识问题，我们发现自己能够以比以前更令人满意的方式处理它。

Thus our a priori knowledge, if it is not erroneous, is not merely knowledge about the constitution of our minds, but is applicable to whatever the world may contain, both what is mental and what is non-mental.

因此，如果我们的先验知识没有错误，那么它不仅是关于我们心智结构的知识，而且适用于世界可能包含的任何事物，包括精神的和非精神的。
