This expanded edition of "The Ways of Paradox" includes papers that
are among Professor Quine's most important and influential, such as
"Truth by Convention," "Carnap and Logical Truth," "On Carnap's
Views on Ontology," "The Scope and Language of Science," and
"Posits and Reality." Many of these essays deal with unresolved
issues of central interest to philosophers today. About half of
them are addressed to "a wider public than philosophers." The
remainder are somewhat more professional and technical. This new
edition of "The Ways of Paradox" contains eight essays that
appeared after publication of the first edition, and it retains the
seminal essays that must be read by anyone who seeks to master
Quine's philosophy.
Quine has been characterized, in "The New York Review of
Books," as "the most distinguished American recruit to logical
empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most
admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of
the first rank." His "philosophical innovations add up to a
coherent theory of knowledge which he has for the most part
constructed single-handed." In "The Ways of Paradox" new
generations of readers will gain access to this philosophy.
