 However, the problems with the program seemed to many philosophers to be deeper than merely technical. By far, the most telling and influential of the criticisms both of the program, and then of analyticity in general, were those of Quine, who began as a great champion of the program (see esp. his 1934), and whose subsequent objections therefore carry special weight. The reader is well-advised to consult particularly his (1956 [1976], hereafter “CLT”) for as rich and deep a discussion of the issues up to that time as one might find. The next two sections abbreviate some of that discussion.
