The most influential philosopher in the analytic tradition of his
time, Willard Van Orman Quine (1908-2000) changed the way we think
about language and its relation to the world. His rejection of the
analytic/synthetic distinction, his scepticism about modal logic
and essentialism, his celebrated theme of the indeterminacy of
translation, and his advocacy of naturalism have challenged key
assumptions of the prevailing orthodoxy and helped shape the
development of much of recent philosophy. This introduction to
Quine's philosophical ideas provides philosophers, students and
generalists with an authoritative analysis of his lasting
contributions to philosophy. Quine's ideas throughout are
contrasted with more traditional views, as well as with
contemporaries such as Frege, Russell, Carnap, Davidson, Field,
Kripke and Chomsky, enabling the reader to grasp a clear sense of
the place of Quine's views in twentieth-century philosophy and the
important criticisms of them.
