Full Idea
How in the end are we going to distinguish claims or the analytic as 'rational insight', 'primitive compulsion', inferential practice or folk belief from merely some deeply held empirical conviction, indeed, from mere dogma.
Gist of Idea
If we claim direct insight to what is analytic, how do we know it is not sub-consciously empirical?
