Full Idea
The thesis that no existence proposition is analytic is one of the few constants in philosophical consciences, but there are many existence claims in mathematics, such as the infinity of primes, five regular solids, and certain undecidable propositions.
Gist of Idea
Mathematics makes existence claims, but philosophers usually say those are never analytic
