2794	Knowing that a cow is not a horse seems to be a synthetic a priori truth [Dancy,J]
	Full Idea: The fact that a cow is not a horse is a candidate for a priori synthetic truth. It doesn't seem to be analytic, because you can know what a cow is without knowing what a horse is.
	From: Jonathan Dancy (Intro to Contemporary Epistemology [1985], 14.3)
