How we acquire our theory of the world is for W. V. Quine the
central question of epistemology. Gibson sets forth Quine's
philosophy as a systematic attempt to answer this question; his
analysis challenges those who might view Quine's theses as
multifarious and disparate.
Since many studies of Quine either attack of defend positions on
specific issues, the broad scope of this essay makes it unusually
valuable to philosophy students and to the general reader.
"An eminently useful first step toward a full-scale evaluation
of one of the most distinguished of contemporary philosophers and
an excellent initiation to an important section of contemporary
philosophy." - Jaakko Hintikka, Florida State University
"Superbly organized and documented and sensitive to Quine's
chronological development. Gibson makes a convincing case for
viewing Quine's philosophy as centrally epistemological, and
Quine's austere edifice looks more impressive than ever." --
"Ethics"
"An accurate, straightforward, sympathetic summary and
exposition, useful to students who would like an overview of
Quine's philosophy." - Gilbert Harman, Princeton University
"Presents Quine's philosophy as a systematic philosophy in a
clear and plausible way; it provides a general and connected view
of Quine's many contributions, a view that could only be obtained
otherwise by a lengthy study of the original sources." - Henry
Kyburg, Jr., University of Rochester
