the proposition self-contradictory, making it "analytic" since truth is discovered by the analysis of the concept itself. Synthetic propositions, on the other hand, are those that cannot be arrived at
by pure analysis, as in the statement "The cat is black." As a result, Kants thinking asserts that all the common propositions that result from experience of the world are
synthetic. The question that then presents itself is whether or not such simplistic analysis has any true value in determination of a moral philosophy. It is important to understand
that Kant makes a clear distinction between perceiving and thinking, which he credits to two specific capabilities of the mind, sense and understanding. Each judgment places an abstraction to a
specific; apprehension of particulars then is within the realm of the faculty of sense, apprehension of concepts belongs to the realm of understanding. For example, Kants The Critique of Pure
