One section of this work compares claims that objects cannot lead to experiences much in the way that irrational numbers cannot be transformed into rational ones. Earlier in that section, experience is likened to the boundary of a force field whose inside is occupied by truths and theories. It borrows Leibnitz's idea of "salva veritate," or interchangeability, to establish the cognitive synonymy of a series of statements in which the word (*) "bachelor" is substituted for the term "unmarried man." This work's title concepts are reductionism, and the split between the analytic and the synthetic. For 10 points, name this 1951 paper by W.V.O. Quine.
