analytic truth

Note

Higg/Kalderon: still the analytic has expository use since it can be taught, just as we can be taught 'dog' even though we can not give a rigorous definition of 'dog'. Quine's search for a strict, behavioristic, definition of analyticity is misguided. The knowledge of analytical truths such as 'p or not-p' is known by the rules of language.

Additional Titles

Note: analytical truths such a 'p or not-p' is known by the rules of language; not via behavior
