Most people construe the term "absolute truth" as necessarily coming from the mind of God, thus atheists reject absolute truth. Philosophy leaves religion out of it and says that analytical truth can be verified on the basis of its meaning.
Because Quine had such a hard time understanding that bachelors are unmarried in his "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" I have adapted the definition of analytical truth so that it can be more directly divided from other forms of truth:
(1) Expressions of language that are defined to be true and
(2) Expressions of language that have been derived on the basis of applying truth preserving operations.
yes, WVQ's crusade against Analycity.
