'In this short book, based on lectures delivered in Spain in 1990, Quine begins by locating his work historically. He provides a lightning tour of the history of philosophy (particularly the history of epistemology), beginning with Plato and culminating in an appreciative sketch of Carnap's philosophical ambitions and achievements. This leads, in the second chapter, to an introduction to Quine's attempt to naturalize epistemology, which emphasizes his continuities with Carnap rather than the differences between them. The next chapters develop the naturalistic story of the development of science to take account of how our conceptual apparatus is enhanced so that we can view the world as containing re-identifiable objects. Having explained the role of observation sentences in providing a checkpoint for assessing scientific theories, and having despaired of constructing an empirical criterion to determine which sentences are meaningful, Quine in the remaining chapters takes up a variety of important issues about knowledge. He concludes with an extended treatment of his views about reference and meaning and his attitudes toward psychological and modal notions. The presentation is distinctive, and the many small refinements of detail and formulation will fascinate all who know Quine's philosophy' (Harvard University Press Web site).…

Brossura. Condizione: ottimo. Volume della collana "biblioteca di filosofia e metodo scientifico", cm 15,5 x 21,0, pagg XLVIII + 354, introduzione e traduzione di Fabrizio Mondadori. Willard Van Orman Quine (1908 2000) è stato un filosofo e logico statunitense. Il libro Parola e oggetto riassume i metodi che sarebbero disponibili a un "linguista sul campo" che cercasse di tradurre una lingua a lui prima sconosciuta. Ogni ipotesi di traduzione potrebbe essere difesa solo ricorrendo al contesto: osservare quali altri enunciati un parlante nativo pronuncerebbe. Ma una analoga indeterminatezza comparirebbe ancora: ogni ipotesi di traduzione può essere difesa se si adottano abbastanza ipotesi compensatorie riguardanti altre parti del linguaggio. Secondo Quine è la nozione di significato che va attaccata nella sua definizione classica. In altre parole, secondo Quine, non si può fare riferimento al significato di una proposizione senza fare riferimento ai fatti del mondo e quindi l'enunciato non può più dirsi analitico. In essenza, per Quine le proposizioni analitiche e sintetiche non possono essere nettamente distinte - e la distinzione deve essere posta in dubbio, se non dissolta. Ottimo esemplare.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Abner Shimony's copy of the First Edition, with his pencil signature 'A. Shimony' on front flyleaf. x, 258 pp, 1 leaf (vita). Original cloth. Near Fine, in very good+ dust jacket (price-clipped). Reprints 21 essays. Quine paid Shimony a compliment in a 1994 interview: 'HRP: Your philosophy played a pivotal role in the demolition of the logical positivism of the 1930s. Do you feel any nostalgia for the philosophical optimism of those days? Quine: I can see the attractiveness of that idea, but I also see something hopeful that seems to be taking its place: the tendency in certain philosophical circles (Dennett is again a shining example of this) to rub out, or at least blur, the boundaries between philosophy and various sciences. Here, Simon Saunders and others are trying to rub out the boundaries between physics and philosophy, along with others like Abner Shimony. It's not only getting physics into the philosophical circle, but philosophy into the physical circle - collaboration. These people take serious, advanced seminars in physics. Roger Penrose, in The Emperor's New Mind, is hoping that someone will come up with a new force, a new particle, that will give us a more intuitive understanding of new finds in quantum mechanics, of scientific concepts anyway. That's of as much interest to philosophers as physicists, and the addition of philosophers trained in physics might improve the situation in physics itself' ('W.V. Quine: Perspectives on Logic, Science and Philosophy', Interview by Bradley Edmister and Michael O'Shea, Harvard Review of Philosophy, 1994). …
