Quine is one of the 20th century’s most important and influential philosophers. The essays in this collection touch on turnings in his work. The text also features an essay by Quine himself, and his replies to each of the papers. Questions are raised concerning Quine’s views on knowledge: observation, holism, truth, naturalized epistemology; about language: meaning, the indeterminacy of translation, conjecture; and about the philosophy of logic: ontology, singular terms, vagueness, identity, and intensional contexts. This book should be of interest to students of philosophy in general, Quine aficionados, and most particularly to those working in the areas of epistemology, ontology, and philosophies of language, logic, and science.
