Here are the most recent writings, some of them unpublished, of the
preeminent philosopher of our time. Philosophical reflections on
language are brought to bear upon metaphysical and epistemological
questions such as these: What does it mean to assume objects,
concrete and abstract? How do such assumptions serve science? What
is the empirical content of a scientific theory? Further essays
deal with meaning, moral values, analytical philosophy and its
history, metaphor, the nature of mathematics; several are concerned
with logic; and there are essays on individual philosophers. The
volume concludes with some general reflections on the contemporary
scene and two playful pieces on the Times Atlas and H. L. Mencken.
W. V. Quine is always, whatever his subject, an elegant writer,
witty, precise, and forceful. Admirers of his earlier books will
welcome this new volume.
