About this Item

TP + [iii] = Dedication page + v-vi = Preface + [vii] = Contents = vii + 1-184, Octavo, First Edition.A Lovely Copy in the Original DustjacketQuine's third published book offers a synthetic approach to his previous works and a point of elaboration for his forthcoming ideas. Beginning the book with a proposal for proving existence and ending with a pragmatic application of his theory, this book thoroughly examines theories of objectivity and ontology. Through the lens of semantic theory, Quine addresses philosophical and logical problems alike, aiming at a theory of universals. He draws on a variety of topics - mathematics, existential philosophy, linguistics - to examine the abstract realm of objectivity, science, and universality. An important book not just in Quine's canon, but in 20th century logic.
