## Statement

Kant's advocacy for his metaphysics in *Critique of Pure Reason* can be seen as relying on the possibility of synthetic apriori claims. If synthetic apriori propositions are possible, it supposes a certain metaphysical worldview, much of the Critique of Pure reason then relies on the possibility of synthetic apriori propositions to justify a worldview. One could reduce Kant's argument into a simple form: If Kant's metaphysics is true, then synthetic apriori propositions are possible.
