Abstract

The analytic- synthetic distinction is one of the most important topics in modern philosophy, the scope of which has been traced in contemporary analytic philosophy. This distinction has led to disputes and conflicts among philosophers, so that in a general classification, analytic philosophers can be divided into friends and foes of this distinction. There are few works in Persian in the field of analytic philosophy. About the mentioned distinction, there is almost no serious writing or even translation that only focuses on this distinction. But not long ago, in 2019, a book titled The Nature and Role of Analytic and Synthetic Propositions in Logic and Epistemology was written by one of the seminary and university scholars. This book is the selected work in the year book of the seminary. Having said that, it should be expected that the first book in this topic will be an accurate and serious book. What follows is focused on the critical review on this book. Of course, this review should be accompanied by clarifications and reconstructions, which this article has tried in this direction as well.
