His insights have had deep and lasting effects on epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophy of language, metaphysics and philosophy of logic. In this class we will work through some of Quine’s most influential papers and arguments, and will try to understand the underlying systematic commitments of his views.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
