Abstract
The terms ‘analysis’ and ‘analyse’ are used in all sorts of ways in ordinary discourse and in technical, specialized contexts. Thus we speak of analysis of the news, analysis of the present situation in this or that troubled area of the world, analysis of the ideas or views of an Albert Schweitzer, and of the story of the latest movie in town. In more specialized or technical discourse we speak of chemical analysis, mathematical analysis,1 a critic’s analysis of a poem or a painting, a student’s grammatical analysis of a sentence, and a philosopher’s analysis of a given proposition, concept or phenomenon.
