Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Quine, retired now from Harvard, here undertakes to summarize and clarify his current--largely unchanged--philosophic views. The chapters deal with "evidence," "objective reference," "cognitive meaning," "intension," and "truth" as the grounds of knowledge. These concepts are approached from the empiricist orientation that we must acknowledge the existence of the external world as revealed in sensory data and that there is no firmer foundation for scientific certainty than the scientific method. Believing firmly that "there is nothing in the mind that was not first in the senses," Quine calls his position a "naturalized epistemology." To be appreciated, this work requires extensive familiarity with philosophical issues and with Quine's prior writings. For academic collections.

Pressestimmen
Pursuit of Truth is, like all Quine's works, most engagingly written. He strives for concision of the most telegraphic sort, and achieves it in a way that gives the special pleasure evoked by a conspicuous skill. -- Anthony Quinton The Times With his usual wit and aplomb, Quine offers here his latest--though one hopes and expects not his last--word on a variety of intersecting topics that have figured centrally in his life's work...The book offers not only a lucid and compelling summary of Quine's views, but also provides invaluable clarifications, reformulations, and substantive updating...Capable of serving as a concise introduction to Quine's views, this book will also prove invaluable in more sophisticated efforts to understand and appraise his accomplishments.

A concise summary and exposition of Quine's philosophy. This seems like it would be an invaluable book for those studying Quine. As an introduction to his philosophy it does a fair job, though it passes over a lot of points a bit quickly for someone unfamiliar with him.

Expository brilliance
28. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I was immensely pleased with this book. As an expository introduction to Quine's thought it does nicely. For one such as me, one not terribly familiar with Quine's work but a student of philosophy, the language was clear and easy to understand. I suggest that if you have not studied much philosophy, mathematics, or lingusitics the language will not be altogether clear. That is only to say Quine uses technical language often enough. If you are not altogether familiar with the technical language that has sprung up in the analytic tradition, this work will require studying rather than just reading. That being said, Quine does expend some energy in making the book understandable to the novice; with a little work, anyone can follow the exposition.
Once last word before I go. This book is an exposition of Quine's thought. Quine's thought is a system constructed in response to the failures of Logical positivism and other radical empirical movements. His starting point, then, are the problems that linguistic philosophy and empiricism faced. If one is not aware of those problems and schools of thought, some of the exposition will have to be read as both an introduction to those problems and one man's solutions, particularly the chapters on Meaning, Intention and Truth. I think no better author or book can be found to introduce those problems, and the solutions herein are effiecent, to say the very least.
