Willard Van Orman Quine

107 books229 followers
"Willard Van Orman Quine (June 25, 1908 Akron, Ohio – December 25, 2000) (known to intimates as "Van"), was an American analytic philosopher and logician. From 1930 until his death 70 years later, Quine was affiliated in some way with Harvard University, first as a student, then as a professor of philosophy and a teacher of mathematics, and finally as an emeritus elder statesman who published or revised seven books in retirement. He filled the Edgar Pierce Chair of Philosophy at Harvard, 1956-78. Quine falls squarely into the analytic philosophy tradition while also being the main proponent of the view that philosophy is not conceptual analysis. His major writings include "Two Dogmas of Empiricism", which attacked the distinction between analytic and synthetic propositions and advocated a form of semantic holism, and Word and Object which further developed these positions and introduced the notorious indeterminacy of translation thesis." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_...

Es un libro pequeño, pero denso y que exige unos conocimientos de lógica formal y el panorama filosófico anglosajón en los años 60 que yo tengo muy a medias (muuuy a medias). Eso sí, sus ideas son todo un hito en ese panorama, sí bien algo confusas en su expresión. En cualquier caso, tesis como la epistemología naturalizada o la relatividad ontológica han marcado la filosofía analítica y es imprescindible acercarse a ellas para quienes tengan interés en dicho campo, como es mi caso. Tendré que releerlo en el futuro con lápiz y papel al lado, pero respect a Quine.

Altamente interesante recopilación de ensayos de Quine. Quizá a mi juicio el más curioso sea el de "Naturalización de la epistemología" debido a que supone el pistoletazo de salida de lo que más adelante será el aserto principal del naturalismo filosófico de Laudan, Kitcher, Sober o Giere. De todas maneras tocará volver a leerlo dentro de no mucho, porque el viejo Quine escribe denso y criptico.
