Description

Willard Van Orman Quine was arguably the most importanat philosopher of the later half of the 20th century. This text introduces Quine's naturalist contributions to philosophy. It begins with his thoughts on ontology, examining how we express our views as to what exists and what Quine believes exists. Next, it introduces Quine's Duhemian-Holistic empiricism by way of his critique of purpportly non-empirical knowledge. The author goes on to present Quine's views on the nature of logic and his critcisms of justifications of it in terms of analyticity as a different lingusitic or conventional based truth. The final chapters discuss controversies concerning modal and belief contexts and Quine's work on naturalized epistemology.
