forum for week of Nov 7: kinds of apriori beliefs

I don't think there is such a thing as apriori knowledge because any sort of reasoning requires previous evidence. For example, we know 2+3 is 5 because we have learned about the mathematical foundations that are needed in order to solve the problem. On the other hand, even if we haven't solved 123456 + 12314142141412414 before personally or seen anyone else solve the problem, we get the answer by evidence that we have learned previously. Hence I believe no such thing as apriori knowledge can exist because even the tinest events in our lives require reasoning and evidence, even though the process may be so subtle that we don't realize it
