    http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/tennant9/quine.html
    
    Extractions: Quine was the most famous, most widely cited, American philosopher of the 20th century. His career began in the early 1930s, when he visited Carnap in Prague. Under the early intellectual influence of the ideas of the Vienna Circle, Quine blended them with the American pragmatist's doctrines to create a unique brand of pragmatic holism. In particular, in his celebrated essay `Two Dogmas of Empiricism' he made a devastating attack on the analytic/synthetic distinction, which forced those in the analytical tradition to re-assess the fundamental concepts and purpose of epistemology and the theory of meaning. Quine's views are uncompromisingly materialist and extensionalist. He is not, though, a nominalist in the traditional sense, since he allows that quantification over mathematical objects such as numbers and sets is necessary for the simplest and most economical theoretical account that we can give of our total experience. Quine brought the logical rigour of Frege, Russell and the Logical Positivists to bear on a wide range of problems in the philosophy of logic, language and science. His most famous work

    http://archives.theconnection.org/archive/2001/01/0110a.shtml
    
    Extractions: listen to the intro Do you search for Truth or Knowledge ... The Harvard philosopher Willard van Orman Quine had the question mark on his typewriter replaced with a logical symbol. Asked by a reporter if he missed the question mark, Quine replied, "I deal in certainties." Quine's certainties were of the scientific sort: he famously said that "philosophy of science is philosophy enough." For Quine, this meant that philosophy had to give up its pretenses and recognize that it had no special claim to truth. The Philosopher On Quine: Willard Quine died on Christmas Day at the age of 92. He was one of the 20th Century's greatest thinkers, whose work in logic and epistemology challenged philosophy's perpetual quest for transcendent meaning. The search for truth beyond immediate human experience, Quine thought, was not only pointless, it was actually a barrier to the pursuit of knowledge. The philosophy of Quine, this hour on the Connection. Guests: Alexander George, professor of Philosophy at

    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Quine.html
    
    Extractions: Willard Van Quine 's father was Cloyd Robert Quine, an engineer who founded the Akron Equipment Company. His mother, Harriet Van Orman, was a teacher. Willard (or Van as he became known to his friends) was the youngest son of the family. His interests at school were mainly scientific but from a young age he began to interest himself with philosophical questions. For example, the concepts of heaven and hell worried him when he was only nine years old. His older brother William gave him James's Pragmatism before he had left school and the book fascinated him. After leaving school Quine studied at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, where his brother William had also studied. A fellow student suggested that he would find reading Bertrand Russell 's works interesting and indeed reading Russell and Whitehead 's Principia Mathematica quickly convinced Quine that he should study mathematics as his major subject with the philosophy of mathematics as a secondary topic.

Quine, From a Logical Point of View Except for minor changes, additions and deletions are indicated in interspersed tables. I wish to thank Torstein Lindaas for bringing to my attention the need to distinguish more carefully the 1951 and the 1961 versions. Endnotes ending with an "a" are in the 1951 version; "b" in the 1961 version. (Andrew Chrucky, Feb. 15, 2000) Modern empiricism has been conditioned in large part by two dogmas. One is a belief in some fundamental cleavage between truths which are analytic , or grounded in meanings independently of matters of fact and truths which are synthetic , or grounded in fact. The other dogma is reductionism : the belief that each meaningful statement is equivalent to some logical construct upon terms which refer to immediate experience. Both dogmas, I shall argue, are ill founded. One effect of abandoning them is, as we shall see, a blurring of the supposed boundary between speculative metaphysics and natural science. Another effect is a shift toward pragmatism. 1. BACKGROUND FOR ANALYTICITY

    http://www.angelfire.com/md2/timewarp/quine.html
    
    Extractions: Willard Van Orman Quine’s Word and Object Willard Van Orman Quine’s Word and Object (1960) is a study in the philosophy of language, describing how linguistic analysis may be used as a method of resolving philosophical problems. Quine explains how uncertainty about the reality of concrete or abstract objects may be resolved by defining the relation between words and objects. Quine also presents a behaviorist theory of language, describing language as consisting of publicly-observable behavior. Language may develop as a complex system of behavioral dispositions to communicate thoughts or feelings in response to verbal or non-verbal stimuli. Word and Object is divided into seven chapters: 1) "Language and Truth," 2) "Translation and Memory," 3) "The Ontogenesis of Reference," 4) "Vagaries of Reference," 5) "Regimentation," 6) "Flight from Intension," and 7) "Ontic Decision." Chapter I is concerned with the role that stimulus-response mechanisms may play in the acquisition of language. Chapter I critically examines the theory that the fundamental purpose of language is to describe our sensory perceptions of the world. Chapter I also questions the theory that the fundamental purpose of language is to describe how physical or abstract objects are related to reality. Chapter II describes language as a system of dispositions to perform verbal behavior. Chapter II also explains how sentences may demonstrate synonymity of stimulus-meaning, and describes how the truth-functions of sentences may be translated. Chapter II also questions the validity of the distinction between analytic and synthetic sentences, and describes the causes of failure to perceive indeterminacy of translation.
