Analytic / Synthetic Distinction

Shitgoth, as I recall, was basically advocating eugenics etc. Hilarious.

Ror:

Kant actually holds that a priori truths are synthetic. Although modern logical positivism holds that a priori truths are analytic.

Onto Quine. Kant's separation of the two truths is based on the idea that the predicate necessarily follows from the subject. Though Kant would disagree, many others would say that 4 necessarily follows from 2+2. However Quine argues that the separation is limited to that subject-predicate relation, and that there is nothing that justifies assuming that a subject contains the predicate.
