About this product

Product Information

Quine's efforts to get beyond the confusion begin by rejecting the very idea of binding together word and thing, rejecting the focus on the isolated word. For him, observation sentences and theoretical sentences are the alpha and omega of the scientific enterprise.

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., 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.

The book is in perfect condition and looks immaculately cared for. It was really well packaged and arrived quickly. My only complaint is the large product sticker on the back. Stickers are difficult to remove and often leave residue.
