"How are synthetic propositions a priori possible?... Metaphysics stands or falls with the solution of this problem; its very existence depends upon it. " Immanuel Kant p. 18
Kant is basically saying that if synthetic propositions a priori are not possible than metaphysics can not exist. If you can not infer that something metaphysical exists from something synthetic then what is the point in a priori if you have no synthetic proof?
