But Kant undoubtedly deserves credit for two things: first, for having perceived that we have a priori knowledge which is not purely 'analytic', i.e.

但康德无疑在两件事上值得赞扬：首先， 因为他认识到我们拥有一种不是纯粹“分析的” 的先知识， 即。

The a priori insistence on this unity ended by fatiguing the more active — or reactive — minds; and Lord Bacon tried to stop it.

对这种统一性的先最终导致更活跃——或反应性——的头脑疲惫不堪； 培根勋爵试图阻止它。

If this were so, we should be involved in a definite contradiction if we attempted to deny anything that could be known a priori. '

Before the time of Kant, it was generally held that whatever knowledge was a priori must be 'analytic'. What this word means will be best illustrated by examples.

在康德之前，人们普遍认为，任何先天的知识都必须是“分析的”。这个词的含义将通过示例得到最好的说明。

通过这种方式， 我们先知识中看似神秘的东西被认为是基于错误。

This suggests a proposition which we shall now endeavour to establish: namely, All a priori knowledge deals exclusively with the relations of universals.

Thus he was led to the conclusion that all pure mathematics, though a priori, is synthetic; and this conclusion raised a new problem of which he endeavoured to find the solution.

因此，他得出结论，即所有纯数学，尽管是先的，都是综合的；这个结论提出了一个新问题，他努力寻找解决办法。

This world is of great importance to philosophy, and in particular to the problems of a priori knowledge.

这个世界对哲学非常重要， 尤其是对先知识的问题。

A priori knowledge is not all of the logical kind we have been hitherto considering. Perhaps the most important example of non-logical a priori knowledge is knowledge as to ethical value.

先知识并不都是我们迄今为止一直在考虑的逻辑类型。也许非逻辑先知识最重要的例子是关于伦理价值的知识。

This illustrates the difference between general propositions known a priori such as 'two and two are four', and empirical generalizations such as 'all men are mortal'.

这说明了先已知的一般命题（例如“二和二等于四”）与经概括（例如“所有人都会死”）之间的区别。
