Product Description

Product 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.


From the Back Cover

"Orenstein's thorough knowledge both of Quine and of philosophical logic put him in an ideal position to explain and discuss Quine's seminal contributions. He does it with clarity and accuracy, and to his illuminating exposition he adds perceptive comment and incisive criticism. This is an outstanding account of Quine's thought, and will be invaluable to anyone seeking a really good, accessible and insightful introduction to it." (A. C. Grayling, Birkbeck College, University of London)

"This presentation of Quine's philosophy is not only a good textbook but also a contribution to Quine scholarship. Written at a level suitable for philosophy majors and beginning graduate students as well as interested laymen, the book is well organized, precise, easy to follow, and includes good examples." (Dagfinn Føllesdal, Stanford University and Oslo University)

"This is a useful and sympathetic introductory account of the main philosophical views of the late W.V.O. Quine. Its straightforward account of what Quine says and why he says it will be useful to students and others wishing to understand Quine's views." (Gilbert Harman, Princeton University) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
