Kripke emphasized the distinction between which two concepts?
A priori and A posteriori
Deductive and Inductive
Synthetic and Analytic
Empirical and Theoretical
Answer
**A priori** and **a posteriori** are two philosophical terms used to distinguish between knowledge that is gained independently of experience and knowledge that is acquired through experience. A priori knowledge is known to be true without the need for empirical evidence, while a posteriori knowledge is derived from observations and experiments. Kripke's emphasis on this distinction highlights the importance of understanding the sources and foundations of knowledge.
