This video looks at Saul Kripke's argument for Necessary, a posteriori statements such as Hesperus is Phosphorus.

This series looks at whether the necessary vs contingent, analytic vs synthetic, and a priori vs a posteriori distinctions actually can map onto each other and if they are even useful with the arguments of Immanuel Kant, W. V. O Quine, and Saul Kripke.
