- Induction
- Universality
Applies for everything.
- Neccesary
A neccesary proposition is true, and can't possibly be false; things which are neccesary must
be. A true proposition might not have to be that way, but it has to be possible for it to be true. A
proposition that is true in any possible arrangement of the world is neccesary.
- Strict universality
Applies for everything, and it is impossible for it not to.
- Unlimited universality
Applies for everythign, with no limitation of scope.
- Proposition
A statement that can be either true or false; "Atoms of hydrogen always have one proton" and
"Helium sometimes has 28 protons" are both propositions. Note that nobody has to believe
about the statement for it to be a proposition (unlike beliefs); "Atoms of hydrogen always have
one proton" would be a proposition even if humans never existed (even if this means english
never existed!).
- Knowledge
Justified, true belief. So the type of knowledge (a priori or a posterori) is determined by what
sort of justification we appeal to in justifying it.
