内容简介

W.V. Quine (1908-2000) was quite simply the most distinguished analytic philosopher of the later half of the 20th century. His celebrated attack on the analytic/synthetic tradition heralded a major shift away form the views of language descended from logical positivism. His most important book, Word and Object, introduced the concept of indeterminacy of radical translation, a bleak view of the nature of the language with which we ascribe thoughts and beliefs to ourselves and others.
