a priori(Frege treats 'analytic' as entailing 'a priori' for arithmetic.)
Knowable independently of empirical experience; here treated as a consequence of analyticity.
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
transcendental unity of apperception(Kant's epistemology; contrasted with the empirical unity of consciousness)
An ordering of representations that is universal and necessary, generated by a priori synthesis, and therefore objectively valid.
