Language/Bigelow/Pargetter: the sentences of the language can be divided into two parts:
a) Theorems (logically necessary). b) Non-theorems. (These can also be wrong).
Non-theorems: even they may be necessary true. For example, that electrons have a negative charge.
Metaphysically necessary/Bigelow/Pargetter: such sentences can be called "metaphysically necessary". Because its truth is not guaranteed by theorems. (Or does not follow from logic alone).
>Metaphysical necessity, >Logical truth, >Truth, >Necessity.},
