A priori refers to a type of knowledge that is necessary for experience. 2. We can only speculate about the synthetic quality of statements. | |

Both observations are empirical, i.e. synthetic a posteriori in Kant's terms, like any introspection. That having thoughts implies their existence may well be an analytic a priori conditional, but the fact itself of having thoughts (the premise) isn't a priori, analytic or synthetic. | |
