   • 1902, William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience […] ‎^[1], London: Folio Society, page 27:

   • 1781, Immanuel Kant, The Critique on Pure Reason, Cambridge University Press, page 694:

     the sources of cognition on which alone the teacher can draw lie nowhere other than in the essential and genuine principles of reason, and consequently cannot be derived from anywhere else by the student, nor disputed in any way, precisely because reason is here used in concreto though nevertheless a priori, founded, that is, in pure and therefore error-free intuition, and excludes all deception and error
