Working within the so-called instructional model of method, I distinguish three kinds of instructions which occur in methods: selective, executive, and declarative instructions. I discuss the relation between each of these and the analyticity of a method. Then I define the notions of an analytic use of an instruction and of an analytic instruction, which are at the basis of the proposed definition of an analytic method. Finally, I discuss the issue of circularity in the presented model which arises if we consider a finite agent testing a method for analyticity.}, keywords = {Analytic method, analytic proposition, closure, Instruction, knowledge base}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2016/1/83-101.pdf}, author = {Kosterec, Milo{\v s}} }
