Over the course of his life, W. V. Quine, one of the twentieth
century s great philosophers, engaged and inspired, interviewed and
critiqued countless scholars, critics, and students. The qualities
that distinguished him in any discussion are on clear display in
this volume, which features him in dialogue with his predecessors
and peers, his critics and students.
The volume begins with a number of interviews Quine gave about
his perspectives on twentieth-century logic, science and
philosophy, the ideas of others, and philosophy generally. Also
included are his most important articles, reviews, and comments on
other philosophers, from Rudolf Carnap to P. F. Strawson. The book,
which contains many previously unpublished manuscripts, concludes
with a selection of small pieces, written for a broader public,
that give a glimpse of the philosopher s wide interests, his sense
of humor, and his warm relations to friends. The result is a
wide-ranging, in-depth, and finely nuanced portrait of the humanity
underlying this great twentieth-century thinker s philosophy.
