19. Language / E. Analyticity / 3. Analytic and Synthetic
Analysis is impossible without the analytic/synthetic distinction [Fodor]
     Full Idea: If there is no analytic/synthetic distinction then there are no analyses.
     From: Jerry A. Fodor (In a Critical Condition [2000], Ch. 3)
     A reaction: There are no precise analyses. I see no reason why a holistic view of language prohibits the careful elucidation of key concepts in the system. It's just a bit fluid.
