Abstract

My aim in this paper is to show in what sense one might characterize ‘analytic philosophy’. In its first part I present some meta-philosophical ideas about the topic and in its following and more substantial parts I develop, as an example of what is being said, one and only one philosophical problem in the Philosophy of Language. The philosophical problem I consider, the so called ‘identity problem’ or ‘Frege Puzzle’ was first advanced by Frege and was treated and developed by several philosophers during the 20th Century. I consider some of the main solutions for the puzzle trying to show by philosophical considerations what I had previously said by meta-philosophical ideas about analytic philosophy.
