Many current and recent philosophers — e. g., Daniel Dennett, Willard Van Orman Quine, Donald Davidson, John Rogers Searle, and Jerry Fodor — operate within a broadly physicalist or materialist framework, producing rival accounts of how best to accommodate mind — functionalism, anomalous monism, identity theory, and so on.

" This view reflects the position of the later Wittgenstein and his famous game example, and is related to the positions of Quine, Davidson, and others.

Eighteen protesters from other institutions, including Willard Van Orman Quine, David Armstrong, Ruth Barcan Marcus, and René Thom, sent a letter to Cambridge claiming that Derrida's work " does not meet accepted standards of clarity and rigor " and describing Derrida's philosophy as being composed of " tricks and gimmicks similar to those of the Dadaists.

According to Soames, both theses were accepted by most philosophers when Quine published Two Dogmas.

Ruth Barcan Marcus advanced a theory of direct reference for proper names at a symposium in which Quine, and Kripke were participants: published in Synthese, 1961 with Discussion in Synthese 1962.

By contrast, in mainstream Analytical philosophy the topic is more confined to abstract investigation, in the work of such influential theorists as W. V. O. Quine, to name one of many.

This book, which deals extensively with self-reference and strange loops, and touches on Quine and his work, was influential in many computer-related subcultures, and is probably largely responsible for the popularity of the prefix, for its use as a solo term, and for the many recent coinages which use it.

His most influential teachers were Michael Scriven, W. V. Quine, and Noam Chomsky.

As a result of these objections and others like them, most, including Quine in his later writings, have agreed that naturalized epistemology as a replacement may be too strong of a view.

Quine held ( on a perhaps simplistic construal ) that there are no beliefs that one ought to hold come what may — in other words, that all beliefs are rationally revisable.

The band released two albums, though the second, Destiny Street, retained only Quine from the original group, with Naux ( Juan Maciel ) on guitar and Fred Maher on drums, and suffered from Hell's distractions, narcotics especially, during recording.

In both fields, one finds considerable work on problems of ontological relativity ( e. g., Quine and Kripke in philosophy, Sowa and Guarino in computer science ), and debates concerning whether a normative ontology is viable ( e. g., debates over foundationalism in philosophy, debates over the Cyc project in AI ).

Though Derrida addressed the American Philosophical Association at least on one occasion in 1988, and was highly regarded by some contemporary philosophers like Richard Rorty, Alexander Nehamas, and Stanley Cavell, his work has been regarded by other analytic philosophers, such as John Searle and Willard Van Orman Quine, as pseudophilosophy or sophistry.

Quine ( 2000 ) hypothesises that the name is derived from a series of cartographical errors, starting with the use of the Old Icelandic Skildir (" shields ") and appearing as Skildar on a map by Nicholas de Nicolay ( 1583 ).

Each natural language tends to rely on its own conceptual metaphor structure, and so tends to have its own core ontology ( according to W. V. Quine ).

Quine ( 1960 ) and Wilfrid Sellars ( 1958 ) both comment on this intermediary position.

The Vienna Circle's influence on 20th century philosophy was immense, and much later work, such as that of Willard Van Orman Quine, was in response to the Circle's thought.

Someday Quine will be recognized for the pivotal figure that he is on his instrument — he is the first guitarist to take the breakthroughs of early Lou Reed and James Williamson and work through them to a new, individual vocabulary, driven into odd places by obsessive attention to On the Corner-era Miles Davis.

Reed persuaded Quine to rejoin for a world tour, which is documented on the video A Night with Lou Reed ( 1983 ) and the album Live in Italy ( 1984 ); Quine disliked touring, but agreed to the tour for financial reasons.

In his teachings and writing on the philosophy of science, he drew heavily on those of his Harvard colleague Willard Van Orman Quine.

Quine argued that all beliefs are in principle subject to revision in the face of empirical data, including the so-called analytic propositions.

This is philosophically unsatisfying to some and has motivated additional work in set theory and other methods of formalizing the foundations of mathematics such as New Foundations by Willard Van Orman Quine.

Dennett attended Phillips Exeter Academy and spent one year at Wesleyan University before receiving his Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Harvard University in 1963, where he was a student of W. V. Quine.

Willard Van Orman Quine criticized the distinction between analytic and synthetic statements and the reduction of meaningful statements to immediate experience.

Key tenets of logical positivism, including its atomistic philosophy of science, the verifiability principle, and the fact-value distinction, came under attack after the Second World War by philosophers such as Nelson Goodman, Quine, J. L. Austin, and Peter Strawson.
