Bernard Bolzano on Analyticity/Syntheticity - Dictionary of Arguments
Mates I 284 Bolzano/Mates: (1781-1848): logical workings are scattered in his work. Analytics: relatively exact definition with the help of interpretation. Likewise for inference. Proposition/Bolzano: puts it against statements. One proposition can be obtained from another by substituting its constituents. MatesVsBolzano: "Replacement" is unclear here, --- I 285 because it is applied to types of objects that are not to be spatial and not temporal. Analyticity/Bolzano: Definition analytical/Bolzano: a proposition is generally valid with respect to a particular component if the result of any substitution of these parts by other terms is true. Definition analytical in a broad sense: if the proposition is generally valid or generally invalid. Otherwise, it is synthetic. Definition closely analytical: if the proposition in reference to all the components apart from the logical one is analytic. MatesVs: Problem of arbitrary distinction of logical/non-logical constants._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
