Quote by Saul Kripke
Any necessary truth, whether a priori or a posteriori, could not have turned out otherwise.
Summary
This quote expresses the idea that a necessary truth, which is a fundamental truth that cannot be false, whether it is known through reason alone (a priori) or through experience (a posteriori), could not have been different or have turned out differently. It suggests that necessary truths are inherently unchangeable and independent of human perception or interpretation. Furthermore, it implies that these truths are universal and will hold true regardless of circumstances or perspectives.
