Of interest to those who seek to understand and evaluate the work of the most important philosopher of the second half of the twentieth century. Publisher Description Willard Van Orman Quines work revolutionized the fields of epistemology, semantics and ontology. At the heart of his philosophy are several interconnected doctrines: his rejection of conventionalism and of the linguistic doctrine of logical and mathematical truth, his rejection of the analytic/synthetic distinction, his thesis of the indeterminacy of translation and his thesis of the inscrutability of reference. In this book Edward Becker sets out to interpret and explain these doctrines. He offers detailed analyses of the relevant texts, discusses Quines views on meaning, reference and knowledge, and shows how Quines views developed over the years. He also proposes a new version of the linguistic doctrine of logical truth, and a new way of rehabilitating analyticity. His rich exploration of Quines thought will interest all those seeking to understand and evaluate the work of one of the most important philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century.
