Single Idea 2513

[from 'Realistic Rationalism' by Jerrold J. Katz, in 12. Knowledge Sources / A. A Priori Knowledge / 5. A Priori Synthetic ]

Full Idea

Linguistic meaning is not rich enough to show either that all metaphysical sentences are meaningless or that all alleged synthetic a priori propositions are just analytic a priori propositions.

Gist of Idea

We don't have a clear enough sense of meaning to pronounce some sentences meaningless or just analytic
