Answered by Examlex AI CopilotAn analytic judgment is a type of judgment where the predicate is already contained within the subject. In other words, the truth of the judgment can be determined by analyzing the subject alone. For example, in the statement "All bachelors are unmarried," the concept of being unmarried is already contained within the concept of being a bachelor. Therefore, this is an analytic judgment.
On the other hand, a synthetic judgment is a type of judgment where the predicate adds something to the subject that is not already contained within it. In this case, the truth of the judgment cannot be determined by analyzing the subject alone, but requires additional information or experience. For example, in the statement "The cat is on the mat," the concept of being on the mat is not already contained within the concept of being a cat. This is a synthetic judgment because it combines the subject and predicate to create a new concept.
In summary, the distinction between an analytic judgment and a synthetic judgment lies in whether the predicate is already contained within the subject (analytic) or adds something new to the subject (synthetic). Analytic judgments are based on logical or conceptual truths, while synthetic judgments are based on empirical or experiential truths.
