Quine was one of the foremost philosophers of the Twentieth
century. In this outstanding overview of Quine's philosophy, Peter
Hylton shows why Quine is so important and how his philosophical
naturalism has been so influential within analytic philosophy.
Beginning with an overview of Quine's philosophical background
in logic and mathematics and the role of Rudolf Carnap's influence
on Quine's thought, he goes on to discuss Quine's famous
analytic-synthetic distinction and his arguments concerning the
nature of the a priori. He also discusses Quine's philosophy of
language and epistemology, his celebrated theory of the
indeterminacy of translation and his broader views of ontology and
modality.
This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Quine,
twentieth century philosophy and the philosophy of language.
