Analytic/synthetic statements

According to Kant's formulation of the distinction, in an analytic statement the concept of the predicate is contained in the concept of the subject, and we can tell that the statement is true by analysis. In a synthetic statement, the concept of the predicate adds something new to the concept of the subject, and the truth or falsity of the statement cannot be determined by analysis. There has been much dispute about the adequacy of Kant's account, but there is general agreement that synthetic statements tell us something about the world.
