The role of a priori analysis in theories

抄録

The paper offers a theoretical reflection on the role of a priori analysis in theory. For each theory the a priori analysis has a role of reference while comparing with the a posteriori analysis. Different theories offer different a priori analyses. The different a priori analyses result from the different priorities of the theories with regard to the focus of analysis. In the a priori analyses these priorities and their differences are made explicit. This study demonstrates the important role of the a priori analysis in the different theories and the benefit of comparing a priori analyses for networking the theories.
