Abstrakt

The distinction between analytic and synthetic has often been criticized by authors who have not understood and mastered it. A famous philosopher such as Schleiermacher and famous logicians such as Lotze, Sigwart and Trendelenburg were guilty of such lack of understanding but can be refuted by showing that they confused a concept with its extension, thereby falling into a kind of logicism.
