In accordance with the wording of the main topic of the conference, participants of the event offered an examination of the problem of apriority in different perspectives and limits of different methodological bases. Views on apriority revealed an ambivalence of the concept — a paradox related to the diversity a priori; a priori in logical and transcendental sense; the closest in concept that can be reached only through the farthest; the character of relation to a priori on which depends the recognition or rejection of ontological or metaphysical understanding of philosophy. A number of reports were dedicated to the role of apriority in theology, everyday life, evolution biology.
