It is gratifying to see that philosophers' continued interest in
Words and Objections has been so strong as to motivate a paperback
edition. This is gratifying because it vindicates the editors'
belief in the permanent im portance of Quine's philosophy and in
the value of the papers com menting on it which were collected in
our volume. Apart from a couple of small corrections, only one
change has been made. The list of Professor Quine's writings has
been brought up to date. The editors cannot claim any credit for
this improvement, however. We have not tried to imitate the Library
of Living Philosophers volumes and to include Professor Quine's
autobiography in this volume, but we are fortunate to publish here
his brand-new auto bibliography. 1975 THE EDITORS TABLE OF CONTENTS
