   Extractions: Willard Van Orman Quine’s Word and Object Willard Van Orman Quine’s Word and Object (1960) is a study in the philosophy of language, describing how linguistic analysis may be used as a method of resolving philosophical problems. Quine explains how uncertainty about the reality of concrete or abstract objects may be resolved by defining the relation between words and objects. Quine also presents a behaviorist theory of language, describing language as consisting of publicly-observable behavior. Language may develop as a complex system of behavioral dispositions to communicate thoughts or feelings in response to verbal or non-verbal stimuli. Word and Object is divided into seven chapters: 1) "Language and Truth," 2) "Translation and Memory," 3) "The Ontogenesis of Reference," 4) "Vagaries of Reference," 5) "Regimentation," 6) "Flight from Intension," and 7) "Ontic Decision." Chapter I is concerned with the role that stimulus-response mechanisms may play in the acquisition of language. Chapter I critically examines the theory that the fundamental purpose of language is to describe our sensory perceptions of the world. Chapter I also questions the theory that the fundamental purpose of language is to describe how physical or abstract objects are related to reality. Chapter II describes language as a system of dispositions to perform verbal behavior. Chapter II also explains how sentences may demonstrate synonymity of stimulus-meaning, and describes how the truth-functions of sentences may be translated. Chapter II also questions the validity of the distinction between analytic and synthetic sentences, and describes the causes of failure to perceive indeterminacy of translation.

In more than 20 books that have been translated into some 50 languages, Quine has addressed topics both weighty and whimsical. Noted for his wit, compendious scholarship, and generosity, he is best known for his contributions to the theory of knowledge and logic. He has guest-lectured on five continents. Reviewing Quine's "Quiddities: An Intermittently Philosophical Dictionary" (1987), a collection of sometimes whimsical short essays, Hilary Putnam, the Cogan University Research Professor, praised Quine as "not only a great philosopher, but also a master of the English language and a genuine polymath." Putnam wrote that, "Anyone who wants to encounter a great philosophical mind in a less technical mood, and to get some feeling for Quine as a peerless companion, raconteur, and amused commentator on the passing show ... cannot do better than to read this book." Quine lectured in six languages. Ihor Sevcenko, the Dumbarton Oaks Professor of Byzantine History and Literature, Emeritus, at Harvard, who met Quine in 1974, said: "He spoke about the great philosophers as his equals whose views he neither accepted or not. He was very fond of Hume, not so fond of Plato." According to Sevcenko, "he was the epitome of greatness and the absolute opposite of pomposity."

Quine, From a Logical Point of View Except for minor changes, additions and deletions are indicated in interspersed tables. I wish to thank Torstein Lindaas for bringing to my attention the need to distinguish more carefully the 1951 and the 1961 versions. Endnotes ending with an "a" are in the 1951 version; "b" in the 1961 version. (Andrew Chrucky, Feb. 15, 2000) Modern empiricism has been conditioned in large part by two dogmas. One is a belief in some fundamental cleavage between truths which are analytic , or grounded in meanings independently of matters of fact and truths which are synthetic , or grounded in fact. The other dogma is reductionism : the belief that each meaningful statement is equivalent to some logical construct upon terms which refer to immediate experience. Both dogmas, I shall argue, are ill founded. One effect of abandoning them is, as we shall see, a blurring of the supposed boundary between speculative metaphysics and natural science. Another effect is a shift toward pragmatism. 1. BACKGROUND FOR ANALYTICITY

Quine's logical armamentarium was unrivalled, and he deployed it on behalf of some of the most peculiar notions one could hope to run across, such as the infamous Quine-Duhem thesis (that no theory can ever be refuted). This tendency led Dennett to coin the verb "to quine", meaning "to deny a distinction others feel to be obvious." Quite unfairly, he supplemented his logical artillery with rhetorical sappers, in the form of one of the most elegant prose styles ever to flow from the pen of an American author; he could be a character in Jack Vance . He calls to mind excruciatingly formal suppers from ages now past when the fish-knife was de rigueur and where a scandalized hush would greet any lapse of punctillio. Or rather, one of the exceedingly refined diners at those suppers, for whom the proper use of the fish-knife is automatic, second nature and almost first; for one of the qualities of Quine's writing is that he makes everything, not least his minute clarity and precision, seem easy, obvious and spontaneous. (Try doing this talking about anything in the world, never mind the concept of "ordered pair".)

Author of the popular textbook Mathematical Logic (1940), Quine also applied the techniques of formal reasoning in The Ways of Paradox (1966), and Ontological Relativity (1969), holding that the ontological commitments of any view can be determined by examining the entities over which a formal language expressing it is employed to quantify.
