An a posteriori rather than an a priori approach means that ontology determines epistemology . The nature of the object determines the form of its possible science.

As I listen to Q& Answers? I compelled to ask the pair Panelist? Why do people differ as we do daily yet the TRIUNE GOD love us to never different but be of one Mind? Why all these multiplicity of theological divisions or variances and more worse the exponentially multiplicity of Religion ...yet God is ONE? Thank uu.
