Psychological Terms – Analytic Statement
A propositional form in which the truth is established by the logical relationship among its terms rather than by reference to external facts.
Because the predicate concept is already embedded within the subject concept, these statements are true by definition and are known a priori.
Examples include:
• “All triangles have three sides.”
• “All bachelors are unmarried.”
The denial of an analytic statement results in self-contradiction.
They are contrasted with synthetic statements, whose truth depends on observation.
