As his main aim in that work was to justify synthetic a priori propositions, Kant was able to bring his central questions into relief and discuss the methodology of their solution by contrasting synthetic propositions, such as: "Every event has a cause" with analytic propositions, such as: "Every effect has a cause." Conseque…
Analytic method and Analytic Propositions in Kant's Groundwork
At the beginning of the third Section of the Groundwork , Kant appears to state the synthetic a priori proposition which it is the business of that Section to justify.
