- Just a quickie question for which i'd like a quickie straightforward
- answer.
-
- Much of Kant's theory rests on the notion that there is a class of
- truths which are both "a priori" and "synthetic". Are these truths
- "necessary" or "contingent"?
-
- i'll assume that because this is talk.philosophy.tech i don't have to
- define these rather standard terms.
-
- that's it!
