Ruffino uses Searle and Vanderveken&#8217;s speech act theory to argue that measurement stipulations generate a priori knowledge of contingent facts. Against this, I argue that the institutional conditions underlying these stipulations cannot be separated from the grounds of justification. Unlike mathematical or logical knowledge, knowledge that these institutional conditions are satisfied is essential to knowledge of measurement stipulations, preventing genuine a priori status.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen: Este artículo critica la defensa ilocucionaria que hace Ruffino del famoso ejemplo de Kripke de lo contingente a priori: el metro patrón. Ruffino utiliza la teoría de los actos de habla de Searle y Vanderveken para argumentar que las estipulaciones de medición generan conocimiento a priori de hechos contingentes. En contra de esto, sostengo que las condiciones institucionales que subyacen a estas estipulaciones no pueden separarse de los fundamentos de justificación. A diferencia del conocimiento matemático o lógico, el conocimiento de que estas condiciones institucionales se cumplen es esencial para el conocimiento de las estipulaciones de medición, lo que impide un auténtico estatus a priori.]]></p></abstract>
