No serious student of modern analytic philosophy can afford to ignore Quine's work. Yet there is no doubt that it presents a considerable challenge. The book offers clear explication and analysis of Quine's writings and ideas in all those areas of philosophy to which he contributed (except technical matters in logic). Quine's work is set in its intellectual context, illuminating his connections to Russell, Carnap and logical positivism. Detailed attention is paid to Word Guides for the perplexed.191Kemp Gary1960 Oct. 15-945413MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824472103321Quine3958769UNINA
