- Jul 23, 2014By the way, this is all a good discussion.
As for Frege and geometry -- I'm not sure. But he was probably aware that there are non-Euclidean geometries, which would suggest that the axioms of geometry are not necessary truths.
As for the general picture of analytic vs. synthetic, I sometimes wonder what that's all about. There seems to be a viewpoint that analytic statements are of little or no value, and it is only the synthetic statements that are really important. Or, at least, that's the impression I get. I see that as a mistaken concern. - << Previous post in topic Next post in topic >>
