A Prescriptive Criterion for Distinguishing Analytic from Synthetic Judgments

Abstract

An essay confirming, in defiance of an opinion shared by many philosophers after Quine, that we may indeed, as Kant suggested, distinguish analytic from synthetic judgments but only by attending to how students could be taught how to use them, and therewith how to use them differently, rather than by attempting to describe how differently they appear.
