:03:00
...it's a judgment in which the predicate
isn't inherent in the subject.
:03:04
For example?
:03:07
Let's use Kant's example.
:03:08
"All bodies are extended in space,"
is an analytical judgment.
:03:11
But "All bodies are heavy,"
is a synthetic judgment...
:03:14
...but a posteriori,
because the idea of weight...
:03:17
...is not contained in the subject idea,
but validated by experience.
:03:21
And "synthetic a priori"?
:03:27
"All bodies are...."
What example does Kant use?
:03:30
Kant's example is: "Everything
that happens has a cause."
:03:33
We can also use mathematical
propositions. When I say:
:03:36
"A straight line is the shortest path
between two points,"...
:03:40
...it doesn't stem from the concept
of straightness nor from experience.
:03:43
Yes, because space is an a priori form
of perception.
:03:47
Bravo!
:03:48
You didn't forget a thing!
:03:50
-You learned that, at least?
-I told you, no.
:03:53
Maybe it was discussed,
but I wasn't there, or I wasn't listening.
:03:57
That didn't stop me from getting an "A".
:04:03
The other day,
Jeanne and I went to the country.
:04:05
-It's a marvelous place.
-It's in a nice area.
:04:10
We started working on the garden.
:04:12
We couldn't paint the trellis
because it was raining...
:04:15
...but I sprayed insecticide everywhere.
:04:19
Everything was wet,
so I don't know if it'll work.
:04:22
We'll do it again another time.
:04:24
You sprayed more on me
than on the flowers!
:04:26
When are you planning on going?
:04:28
I need to know,
otherwise I'll ask my friends to help.
:04:32
As soon as possible.
:04:34
There's no need to bother your friends,
unless they'd like to.
:04:39
-Next Saturday?
-Why not? Okay with you?
:04:41
I can't, I have an article to finish.
:04:44
-You can finish it there.
-That'll be hard. Go without me.
:04:49
Will you be coming, Natacha?
:04:51
I thought so,
but I made other plans for next Saturday.
:04:55
That shouldn't stop you from going.
:04:57
That's nice, but I have plans, too.
