On 25 May 1947, Morton White wrote a letter to Quine asking for advice on a paper in which he tried to deal with a solution to C.H. Langford’s paradox of analysis proposed by Alonzo Church. White was especially unhappy with Church’s invocation of abstract objects in order to explicate the notion of synonymy. White sent his discontentment with the proposed solution to Quine (White’s original paper appeared in print in 1948 under the title “On the Church–Frege Solution of the Paradox of Analysis”) and then sent Quine’s answer to Goodman. In 1947 the three discussed the matter by letter, until White was eventually chosen to write a survey of their discussion, which appeared in 1950 under the title “The Analytic and the Synthetic: An Untenable Dualism”. Quine presented his view on the matter in an address to the American Philosophical Association, which was published in 1951 as “Two Dogmas of Empiricism” (Quine 1951a).
