Editorial Reviews

Review
"...is a valuable and important volume....of high quality papers which has much to offer both students of Quine's work and others interested in central topics of recent analytical philosophy." Review of Metaphysics

Product Description
W.V.O. Quine is one of the most influential of contemporary philosophers, whose work has ranged broadly across a great number of topics and issues in a career spanning some fifty years. In this collection a group of distinguished philosophers offers a sustained critical evaluation of the full range of Quine's writings. Among the topics addressed are interpretation, epistemology, ontology, modality, and mathematical truth. This is very much a "state of the art" collection that will influence all future discussion of Quine.
