    Hume’s version of empiricism begins with his distinction between analytic propositions “relationship of ideas‚” which he considers to be a priori and true by definition‚ and synthetic propositions‚ which he considers to be a posteriori (“matters of fact”)‚ and which are opposite of analytic propositions because they’re derived from our senses.
