analítica

A sentence, proposition, thought, or judgment is analytic if “it is true in virtue of our determination to use (consistently) a particular symbolism or language. ” True, it is sometimes said, because we assign the words of language the meanings that we assign them. Example: All bachelors are unmarried males. Some philosophers have maintained that all the truths of mathematics are analytic, and that all necessary and a priori truths are analytic.
