    Theories and things
    WV Quine published Theories and Things which talks about Philosophical reflections on language that are brought to bear upon metaphysical and epistemological questions such as these: What does it mean to assume objects, concrete and abstract? How do such assumptions serve science? What is the empirical content of a scientific theory? https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/quine/#QuinLifeWork
  • Published Pursuit of Truth

    Published Pursuit of Truth. The pursuit of truth is a study that links observation, theory, and the world. Various faulty efforts to forge such links have led to much intellectual confusion. Quine's efforts to get beyond the confusion begin by rejecting the very idea of binding together word and thing, rejecting the focus on the isolated word. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674739512
