Definitions
A tenet asserting that all statements are exclusively either "analytic a priori" (universally true by mere definition) or "synthetic a posteriori" (unknowable without exact experience).
Examples
“Hume's Fork would belong⟳ to the category of sophistry and illusion. As Hume's Fork is presented as a tool with which knowable propositions can be distinguished from nonsensical ones, critics need⟳ to show⟳ that the two categories of knowable propositions are inadequate, or that nonsensical propositions can be true or false.”
