It is apodeictic that the caliginosity of the agrestic embrangle periapts with mansuetude.    From Wordnik.com.  [Save the language! « Write Anything] Reference

I believed it was apodeictic that Collins was not as well known, but it appears I was embrangled.    From Wordnik.com.  [Save the language! « Write Anything] Reference

Chomskyans typically take this point, conceding that the argument from the poverty of the stimulus is not apodeictic.    From Wordnik.com.  [Innateness and Language] Reference

One implication of the unending nature of the interpretation of appearances through infinite sequences of signs is that Peirce can be no type of epistemological foundationalist or believer in absolute or apodeictic knowledge.    From Wordnik.com.  [Nobody Knows Nothing] Reference

We have here only to do with the distinction of imperatives into problematical, assertorial, and apodeictic.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

It is apodeictic that, while perhaps obscure, words like "skirr" and "periapt" serve uniquely expressive purposes and cannot be subrogated by other, more commonplace words.    From Wordnik.com.  [A Gentleman's C] Reference

The categorical imperative which declares an action to be objectively necessary in itself without reference to any purpose, i.e., without any other end, is valid as an apodeictic (practical) principle.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals] Reference

Inasmuch as the reality of the concept of freedom is proved by an apodeictic law of practical reason, it is the keystone of the whole system of pure reason, even the speculative, and all other concepts.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

This is virtue, and virtue, at least as a naturally acquired faculty, can never be perfect, because assurance in such a case never becomes apodeictic certainty and, when it only amounts to persuasion, is very dangerous.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

In a recent issue of VERBATIM, the detailed review of a book by Jacques Barzun is an excellent example of the apodeictic views of that self-elected language guardian who really ought to know better after these many years of the debate.    From Wordnik.com.  [VERBATIM: The Language Quarterly Vol XIV No 2] Reference

It follows that the law would be, properly speaking, given by nature, and, as such, it must be known and proved by experience and would consequently be contingent and therefore incapable of being an apodeictic practical rule, such as the moral rule must be.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals] Reference

This certainty of the postulated possibility then is not at all theoretic, and consequently not apodeictic; that is to say, it is not a known necessity as regards the object, but a necessary supposition as regards the subject, necessary for the obedience to its objective but practical laws.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

Hence, the objective reality of the moral law cannot be proved by any deduction by any efforts of theoretical reason, whether speculative or empirically supported, and therefore, even if we renounced its apodeictic certainty, it could not be proved a posteriori by experience, and yet it is firmly established of itself.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

He holds the principles of mathematics to be analytical; and if his were correct, they would certainly be apodeictic also: but we could not infer from this that reason has the faculty of forming apodeictic judgements in philosophy also - that is to say, those which are synthetical judgements, like the judgement of causality.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

It is understood that a combination of assertory or of apodeictic premises may warrant an assertory or an apodeictic conclusion; but that if we combine either of these with a problematic premise our conclusion becomes problematic; whilst the combination of two problematic premises gives a conclusion less certain than either.    From Wordnik.com.  [Logic Deductive and Inductive] Reference

When we add further that, unless we deny that the notion of morality has any truth or reference to any possible object, we must admit that its law must be valid, not merely for men but for all rational creatures generally, not merely under certain contingent conditions or with exceptions but with absolute necessity, then it is clear that no experience could enable us to infer even the possibility of such apodeictic laws.    From Wordnik.com.  [Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals] Reference

A postulate of pure practical reason might give most occasion to misapprehension in case the reader confounded it with the signification of the postulates in pure mathematics, which carry apodeictic certainty with them.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

Cleansing or scouring agrestic: rural, rustic, unpolished, uncouth apodeictic: unquestionably true by virtue of demonstration caducity: perishableness, senility compossible: possible in coesistence with something else embrangle: to confuse or entangle exuviate: to shed (a skin or similar outer covering): short and stout, squat griseous.    From Wordnik.com.  [Club Troppo] Reference

But as regards the second element of that object, namely, happiness perfectly proportioned to that worthiness, it is true that there is no need of a command to admit its possibility in general, for theoretical reason has nothing to say against it; but the manner in which we have to conceive this harmony of the laws of nature with those of freedom has in it something in respect of which we have a choice, because theoretical reason decides nothing with apodeictic certainty about it, and in respect of this there may be a moral interest which turns the scale.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

It seems apodeictic.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Globe and Mail - Home RSS feed] Reference

Now, by help of an apodeictic practical law, being necessary conditions of that which it commands to be made an object, they acquire objective reality; that is, we learn from it that they have objects, without being able to point out how the conception of them is related to an object, and this, too, is still not a cognition of these objects; for we cannot thereby form any synthetical judgement about them, nor determine their application theoretically; consequently, we can make no theoretical rational use of them at all, in which use all speculative knowledge of reason consists.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference

Nevertheless, mathematical science, so highly vaunted for its apodeictic certainty, must at last fall under this empiricism for the same reason for which Hume put custom in the place of objective necessity in the notion of cause and, in spite of all its pride, must consent to lower its bold pretension of claiming assent a priori and depend for assent to the universality of its propositions on the kindness of observers, who, when called as witnesses, would surely not hesitate to admit that what the geometer propounds as a theorem they have always perceived to be the fact, and, consequently, although it be not necessarily true, yet they would permit us to expect it to be true in the future.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Critique of Practical Reason] Reference
