en-wikipedia-org-4548		Hume's fork - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2365	185	65	Hume's fork, in epistemology, is a tenet elaborating upon British empiricist philosopher David Hume's emphatic, 1730s division between "relations of ideas" versus "matters of fact."[1][2] (Alternatively, Hume's fork may refer to what is otherwise termed Hume's law, a tenet of ethics.)[3] As phrased in Immanuel Kant's 1780s characterization of Hume's thesis, and furthered in the 1930s by the logical empiricists, Hume's fork asserts that all statements are exclusively either "analytic a priori" or "synthetic a posteriori," which, respectively, are universally true by mere definition or, however apparently probable, are unknowable without exact experience.[2][4]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4548.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4548.txt
