Question: So then, what does Quine conclude about distinguishing analytic/synthetic propositions!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think the best summary can be extracted from the end of section IV, where he says:

"But, for all its a priori reasonableness, a boundary between analytic and synthetic statement simply has not been drawn!. That there is such a distinction to be drawn at all is an unempirical dogma of empiricists, a metaphysical article of faith!."

In other words, his conclusion is that there is no satisfactory distinction that can universally be applied to the two kinds of statements!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
