“A priori” and “A posteriori” knowledge:

Hume insists:
1.Only a posteriori knowledge is knowledge about reality: the facts of the world—the way the world is.
2.A priori is knowledge only of definitions, logic or mathematics, not of how the world is.

Any knowledge of truths that are universally true is not knowledge of reality!
