Requirements: first Kant exercise (due: Fri. 4/15)
 
 

Give examples of each of the following and explain briefly (in a sentence or two each) why you think Kant would take them to be examples:

an analytic judgment that is known a priori,

a synthetic judgment that is known empirically, and

a synthetic judgment that is known a priori.

Your examples should be different from Kant’s, but they don’t need to be far different. This is only an exercise, so the idea is simply to get some practice in routine applications of these ideas.

As with the papers, I’ll be willing to accept these exercises on paper, but I’d prefer that you send a copy by e-mail (either as an attachment or in the body of a message). My address is helmang@wabash.edu.
