12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 8. A Priori as Analytic

15165	A priori knowledge is entirely of analytic truths [Sidelle]
	Full Idea: The a priori method yields a priori knowledge, and the objects of this knowledge are not facts about the world, but analytic truths.
	From: Alan Sidelle (Necessity, Essence and Individuation [1989], Ch.1)
	A reaction: Are we not allowed any insights at all into how the world must be, independent of how we happen to conceptualise it?
