kontigent

kontigent

A sentence proposition, thought or judgment is contingent if it is true of this actual world, though it is not true in all possible worlds. Some philosophers claim that contingent, a posterori, and synthetic are equivalent, holding that the notion of synthetic explains the other two. See necessary.
