Opis

Working from Within examines the nature and development of W. V. Quine's naturalism, the view that philosophy ought to be continuous with science. Sander Verhaegh's reconstruction is based on a comprehensive study of Quine's personal and academic archives. Transcriptions of five unpublished papers, letters, and notes are included in the appendix.

Recenzje

This is an outstanding work. I agree with the main points, am grateful for them, and heartily applaud the sheer amount of work that has gone into it, philosophical as well as scholarly. I learned. Every Quine-scholar will have to read it and many students would be well-advised to read it also.
