The first judgement is analytical (a priori knowledge) which is proven by pure reason and definitions instead of gathering facts. For example, a salmon is a fish; therefore, since salmon is a type of fish the example is known to be analytical. The second judgement is synthetic (a posteriori knowledge)--presuppositions of science by going out and gathering facts. An example of synthetic is “it often rains in Vancouver” while yes, it does rain in Vancouver, it is not always raining or found in the definition of the city. However, Kant states that synthetic a priori knowledge is possible. For instance, the interior of a triangle is 180 degrees that was never contained in the concept, but rather new information because it could not be justified.
