How does Quine fare in the first decades of the twenty-first century? This chapter examines a cluster of Quinean theses that are especially fruitful in meeting some of the current challenges of epistemology and ontology. These theses offer an alternative to the traditional bifurcations of truth and knowledge into factual and conceptual-pragmatic ...

Dialogue, 1993
Thanks largely to Daniel Dennett, I am a recent convert to what many will regard as the shocking hypothesis that qualia do not exist. This admission is not quite a confident sighting of that rarest of philosophical birds, an unequivocally sound and valid argument.

Synthese, 1968
Over the past thirty-two years, Quine has presented a number of arguments against the modalities, his criticism culminating in Word and Object. During the same period, modal logic has flourished as never before, and a number of semantic systems for the different modalities have been proposed, apparently quite unencumbered by Quine’s criticism.

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1999
AbstractIn a 1969 paper, Quine coined the term ‘limits of decision”. This term evidently refers to limits on the logical vocabulary of a logic, beyond which satisfiability is no longer decidable. In the same paper, Quine showed that not only monadic formulas, but homogeneous k -adic formulas for arbitrary k lie on the decidable side of the limits of ...

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1941
The purpose of this paper is to suggest two alternatives to Quine's definition of closure. These new definitions have two advantages over Quine's definition, and they probably are the simplest definitions having both advantages. The two advantages are:(1).
