When one envisions a motorcycle, the image that often springs to mind is that of a Harley-Davidson. This is because Harley-Davidson doesn’t just build motorcycles; it creates the archetypal motorbike, the quintessential embodiment of all that a motorcycle represents. This is what the philosopher Kant referred to as a priori knowledge, innate understanding that can’t be learned but only intuitively perceived. In this sense, a Harley-Davidson isn’t just a motorcycle; it’s the motorcycle.
