M. Dummett on Analyticity/Syntheticity - Dictionary of Arguments
II 134 Analytical/Frege: Analytically equivalent sentences must have the same sense, otherwise no criterion for identity. Propositional attitude: belief objects must be different when utterance reasons are different - E.g. Cathrine = Paul’s sister - then two analytically equivalent sentences do not have the same information content. Cf. >Intensions, >Propositions, >Opaque contexts._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
