Kant's philosophy - How are synthetic judgments a priori possible?

The distinction of our judgments into analytic and synthetic ones is one of Immanuel Kant's greatest accomplishments. That metaphysics, the core of all philosophical science, was standing on a shaky foundation and was not yet a proper science, he had felt for a while. But now he could ground the attempt to turn it into a science on a single question, which was to become the central question of his project of a critique of pure reason: How are synthetic judgments a priori possible?
