Review
"The elegance, economy, wit and precision of his writings are among the chief glories of modern philosophy ... By virtue of intellectual power, range and fertility of ideas and brilliance of presentation, Quine is the most distinguished and influential of living philosophers." P. F. Strawson, London Review of Books
"Quine pursues his philosophical vision with an uncompromising consistency of purpose that makes his doctrines impossible to ignore. You either go with him or define your position in reaction to his. And this is one mark of a great philosopher." Colin McGinn, Journal of Philosophy
"{Quine is} ... the most distinguished American recruit to logical empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of the first rank." New York Review of Books
"Through little known outside academia, Quine is the most distinguished American–born philosopher since John Dewey. His views have been enormously influential and, to this day, continue to generate heated and fruitful controversy." Martin Gardner, The Boston Globe
Synopsis
This collection of 21 essays deals with the thought of the American philosopher, Willard Van Orman Quine. After the editors' brief introduction to Quine's thought, the volume opens with an essay by Quine entitled "Three Indeterminacies". Here Quine presents his latest thoughts on a number of controversial issues such as indeterminacy of translation, inscrutability of reference and underdetermination of physical theory. The 20 essays that follow, written by philosophers and scholars and arranged alphabetically by author, examine a variety of Quine's concerns ranging from logic and set theory to natural language, truth, evidence, natural kinds and naturalized epistemology. Quine's comments follow each of the essays.
