A year later, in early 1976, Hell quit The Heartbreakers and started Richard Hell & the Voidoids with Robert Quine, Ivan Julian and Marc Bell.

" 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.

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.

In the history of western thought, essence has often served as a vehicle for doctrines that tend to individuate different forms of existence as well as different identity conditions for objects and properties ; in this eminently logical meaning, the concept has given a strong theoretical and common-sense basis to the whole family of logical theories based on the " possible worlds " analogy set up by Leibniz and developed in the intensional logic from Carnap to Kripke, which was later challenged by " extensionalist " philosophers such as Quine.

It was originally recorded live by Robert Quine, a fan of the band who would later become an influential guitarist and played with musicians such as Richard Hell, Lou Reed and Lloyd Cole.

The book was later adapted into the 1960 film, directed by Richard Quine which stars William Holden, Nancy Kwan, Sylvia Syms, and Michael Wilding.

Quine later directed three episodes of Peter Falk's Columbo, including Dagger Of The Mind, an episode set in Britain which some UK fans of that series regard as an embarrassment.

Quine was later engaged to Kim Novak, but the two did not marry.

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.

W. V. Quine argued for a Coherentist approach to science, as do E O Wilson and Kenneth Craik, though neither use the term " Coherentism " to describe their views.

Quine argued that the solution to the paradox lies in the recognition that certain predicates, which he called natural kinds, have a distinguished status with respect to induction.

Quine ( the originator of the term “ ontological commitment ”) argued that the only ontologically committing expressions are variables bound by a first-order existential quantifier, and natural language expressions which were formalized using variables bound by first-order existential quantifiers.

Quine also argued against the well-defined distinction between analytic and synthetic propositions required by Hume's fork in his landmark paper Two Dogmas of Empiricism.

Quine argued that kind-hood was logically primitive: it could not be reduced non-trivially to any other relation among individuals.

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

Quine, George Santayana, and other philosophers argued that the success of naturalism in science meant that scientific methods should also be used in philosophy.

Finally, many philosophers prefer simpler ontologies populated with only the bare minimum of types of entities, or as W. V. Quine said " They have a taste for ' desert landscapes.

The name " quine " was coined by Douglas Hofstadter, in his popular science book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, in the honor of philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine ( 1908 – 2000 ), who made an extensive study of indirect self-reference, and in particular for the following paradox-producing expression, known as Quine's paradox:

Contemporary mathematical empiricism, formulated by Quine and Putnam, is primarily supported by the indispensability argument: mathematics is indispensable to all empirical sciences, and if we want to believe in the reality of the phenomena described by the sciences, we ought also believe in the reality of those entities required for this description.

Quine suggests that mathematics seems completely certain because the role it plays in our web of belief is incredibly central, and that it would be extremely difficult for us to revise it, though not impossible.

Where Quine suggested that mathematics was indispensable for our best scientific theories, and therefore should be accepted as a body of truths talking about independently existing entities, Field suggested that mathematics was dispensable, and therefore should be considered as a body of falsehoods not talking about anything real.

As Quine puts it, indeterminacy of radical translation is the thesis that " manuals for translating one language into another can be set up in divergent ways, all compatible with the totality of speech dispositions, yet incompatible with one another " ( Quine 1960, 27 ).

Robert Wolfe Quine ( December 30, 1942 – May 31, 2004 ) was an American guitarist, known for his innovative guitar solos.

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.

Quine was enrolled in the Berklee School of Music for the 1967-68 semester.

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.

Saxophonist / composer John Zorn hired Quine for several experimental projects.

Quine and others, and was used as a justification for a shift towards externalist theories of justification.

* Troubles with the analytic-synthetic distinction ( for which see Quine ( 1950 )).

* The theory ladenness of observation ( for which see Kuhn ( 1970 ) and Quine ( 1960 )).

Church speculated that his theory might be extended in a manner consistent with Quine ’ s, but this is not possible for Oberschelp ’ s, since in it the singleton function is provably a set, which leads immediately to paradox in New Foundations.

* Willard Van Orman Quine ( 1937 ) “ New Foundations for Mathematical Logic ,” American Mathematical Monthly 44, pp. 70 – 80.

Ohio is known for a wide variety of punk rock icons from Akron, Cleveland and Cincinnati, primarily ; these include The Dead Boys, Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, The Cramps, Rocket From The Tombs, Pere Ubu, Robert Quine, Rachel Sweet, Pagans, Devo and the Rubber City Rebels.

The Quine – McCluskey algorithm ( or the method of prime implicants ) is a method used for minimization of boolean functions which was developed by W. V.

In this respect second-order logic with standard semantics differs from first-order logic ; Quine ( 1970, pp. 90 – 91 ) pointed to the lack of a complete proof system as a reason for thinking of second-order logic as not logic, properly speaking.

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 ).

And by ontological relativity, explicated by Quine, one can always protect one's explanation of phenomena by attributing failure to some aspect outside the explanation.

Since, Quine says, the function of science is to predict future experiences in the light of past ones, the only ground for choosing which explanations to believe is " the degree to which they expedite our dealings with sense experiences.

Quine rejects the analytic-synthetic thought and emphasizes the holistic nature of our beliefs.

Finally, Quine objects in principle to Carnap's proposed translation of statements like " quality q is at point-instant x ; y ; z ; t " into his sense-datum language, because he does not define the connective " is at ".

Quine is a Physicalist, in the sense that he considers it a scientific error not to adopt a theory which makes reference to physical objects.

As Quine states in Two Dogmas, " The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of

The term was brought into contemporary philosophy by W. V. Quine in his essay " Natural Kinds ", where any set of objects forms a kind only if ( and perhaps if ) it is " projectable ", meaning judgments made about some members of that set can plausibly be extended by scientific induction to other members.
