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
Jokes about ‘no man’ as a name are now some three millennia old; an understanding of the syntactical difference between such a phrase and a name is both much more recent and much less available. To take ‘no man’ as naming, or even referring to, some man appears patently contradictory; but many beginners in logic take ‘no man’ as referring to non- men ...

Synthese, 1968
Perhaps the clearest and most explicit development of what appears to be a narrowly Humean theory of language acquisition in recent philosophy is that of Quine, in the introductory chapters to his Word and Object.1 If the Humean theory is roughly accurate, then a person’s knowledge of language should be representable as a network of linguistic forms ...

Consciousness and Cognition, 2012
This paper asks whether we can identify a neutral explanandum for theories of phenomenal consciousness, acceptable to all sides. The 'classic' conception of qualia, on which qualia are intrinsic, ineffable, and subjective, will not serve this purpose, but it is widely assumed that a watered-down 'diet' conception will.

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.
