>all mathematical propositions are synthetic a priori
kek
why do people take this guy seriously?
Because it's true.
>>9486610
then post an analytic a priori math proposition
You really gotta stop doing this.
>>9486619
any proposition within non-euclidean geometry
Observation is creation, we exist in a simulation, reality is persistant not objective, the universe expands at the rate of thought.
>>9486634
incorrect
>>9486619
Division is analytic.
>>9486619
1=1
Is there any analytic a priori truth anyways? (actually interested)
>>9490196
A = A
A bachelor is an unmarried male.
Squares have four right angles.
Triangles have angles summing to 180 degrees.
Blue is a color.
Etc.
>>9490219
Gödel and non-Euclid would like a word
>>9490219
But don't you need an empirical concept of A to say A=A? Isn't it as synthetic a priori as a number?
>>9488756
not a mathematical proposition
ITT: people who have not read Wittgenstein or Kripke. Fucking plebs.

i like to imagine nietzsche picking him up by the collar and slapping him in the fucking face

bro... do you know what colors are?
Can always count on /lit/ to elevate the level of discourse on any subject.

I may have forgotten, but isn't all of math explicitly analytic?
>>9486610
I kant believe he is in another thread. He was out of his depth and now is out of his time. Just let the idiot die already.
>>9492062
No, it's a priori in Kant's system.
Analytic propositions are statements based purely on the presentation or definition of the concept without doing any thinking about it or combining it with any other concept. The classic example is A = A, but really it's any trait that's part of the definition of the concept.
>>9493071
To clarify, I mean that it is analytic a priori (3 = 3) or synthetic a priori (3 + 4 = 7).
I didn't mean to imply that a priori is the opposite of analytic; they're separate categories.
>>9492062
No, a number is analytic because it contains the tatuologic identity of teh number, just as A=A, 1=1. however in the operation 1+2=3, the product of the two analytical premises, being 1 and 2, produces a new number not included in any of the first quantities. Thus mathematic operations are synthetic a priori.
>>9490219
>Squares have four right angles.
>Triangles have angles summing to 180 degrees.
Those are not even a priori.
>>9493518
Yes, they are. They're synthetic a priori.
You can identify the volume of a cube whose sides are 17.17 meters, can't you? Have you ever seen one?
is the cuteness of herslag synthetic a priori ?
>>9493539
A posteriori if you know what I mean ;-)
