A logical truth is a statement or logical expression which is necessarily true. That is to say, a logical truth could not possibly be false.
Or perhaps less metaphysically, there doesn't seem to be any conceivable logical case or situation in which we would assess the expression as being false.
Now, the mere existence of these logical truths seems to be a problem for Empiricism...
Any rational view or comment on this interesting piece of Wikied wisdom?

The existence of logical truths has been put forward by rationalist philosophers as an objection to empiricism because they hold that it is impossible to account for our knowledge of logical truths on empiricist grounds.
