In philosophy and science, a first principle (or first principles) refers to a basic proposition that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. The concept originates in philosophy from Aristotle's doctrine of the 'first cause', while in Kantian philosophy, its corresponding form is called a 'postulate'.
