Theories of Analytic A Priori Knowledge 1.
Every effect has a cause.
Explain why this example is a potential problem. Ayer's Extension of the Kantian Account-Analytic Truths are Tautologies . This view has usually been expressed by saying that tautologies are true in virtue of meaning. This makes it possible for Ayer to hold that analytic statements do not have to be in subject-predicate form. For example, pure Euclidean geometry is analytic for Ayer, because pure Euclidean geometry only makes conditional claims that the theorems are true, given that the axioms are true.
