    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.
