a priori(Frege treats 'analytic' as entailing 'a priori' for arithmetic.)
Knowable independently of empirical experience; here treated as a consequence of analyticity.
analytic(Used to establish that males exist if bachelors exist)
A sentence or truth that holds in virtue of meaning alone, such that the predicate is contained in the subject concept.
synthetic a priori(Kant's Critique of Pure Reason; Euclidean geometry is offered as a primary example)
A class of statements that are both independent of experience and non-tautological, combining the necessity of a priori knowledge with the informativeness of synthetic judgment
