A PRIORI: A presumption made before an analysis is undertaken, often based on experiences, beliefs, or deductions from seemingly self-evident propositions about how the world works. This is a Latin for assumption or axiom. A similar sounding, but opposite term is a posteriori, which is derived from observation or facts. For example, in the study of economics of crime you might assume, a priori, that people are basically "good", because that just seems to be part of human nature, and conclude, a posteriori, that people are more likely to commit crimes when the threat of capture and conviction is lower.

[What's This?]

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at an auction seeking to buy either storage boxes for your income tax returns or an AC adapter for your CD player. Be on the lookout for florescent light bulbs that hum folk songs from the sixties.
