Ontological Relativity & other Essays - Willard Van Orman Quine
1 in stock
Description
In 'Ontological Relativity and Other Essays', philosopher W. V. Quine examines fundamental questions about meaning, reference, language and the nature of reality. The collection develops his influential arguments against the idea that words and sentences have meanings that can be understood independently of their broader linguistic context. In the title essay, Quine challenges the notion of a uniquely correct way to interpret reality, while other essays explore translation, evidence, scientific knowledge and the relationship between language and experience. A significant work in twentieth-century analytic philosophy, this collection is particularly valuable for readers interested in philosophy of language, epistemology and Quine’s naturalistic approach to philosophy.
