Born in Akron, Ohio, Quine began his philosophical studies at Oberlin College in his native state. He later studied the foundations of mathematical logic with Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard University, where Quine himself became professor of philosophy in 1936. His contributions to the development of contemporary philosophy often involve subtle modification of the empiricist traditions of pragmatism and logical positivism . Quine died on Christmas Day 2000. In " Two Dogmas of Empricism " (1951), for example, Quine criticized excessive reliance on the analytic/synthetic distinction , maintaining that a whole system of beliefs must be held up for scrutiny in the light of new experience. The other papers collected in From a Logical Point of View (1953) amplify on this suggestion, developing a naturalistic and relativized epistemology. In Word and Object (1960) Quine proposed the indeterminacy of radical translation, on which a single sentence must always be taken to have more than one different meaning.
Author of the popular textbook Mathematical Logic Quine also applied the techniques of formal reasoning in The Ways of Paradox (1966), and

Willard Van Quine 's father was Cloyd Robert Quine, an engineer who founded the Akron Equipment Company. His mother, Harriet Van Orman, was a teacher. Willard (or Van as he became known to his friends) was the youngest son of the family. His interests at school were mainly scientific but from a young age he began to interest himself with philosophical questions. For example, the concepts of heaven and hell worried him when he was only nine years old. His older brother William gave him James's Pragmatism before he had left school and the book fascinated him. After leaving school Quine studied at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, where his brother William had also studied. A fellow student suggested that he would find reading Bertrand Russell 's works interesting and indeed reading Russell and Whitehead 's Principia Mathematica quickly convinced Quine that he should study mathematics as his major subject with the philosophy of mathematics as a secondary topic. O'Grady writes in [5]:-

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Quotations2/625.html
Willard Van Quine
Just as the introduction of the irrational numbers ... is a convenient myth [which] simplifies the laws of arithmetic ... so physical objects are postulated entities which round out and simplify our account of the flux of existence... The conceptional scheme of physical objects is [likewise] a convenient myth, simpler than the literal truth and yet containing that literal truth as a scattered part.
Quoted in J Koenderink Solid Shape (Cambridge Mass. 1990).

Notebooks
Willard Van Orman Quine, 19082000
(Wed Mar 7 10:43:01 2001) American logician and philosopher; perhaps the most eminent analytical philosopher of the late 20th century; a student of Whitehead, and largely in the spirit of the Logical Positivists , with a good dose of pragmatism mixed in; teacher of Daniel Dennett (whom I hope to see become the most eminent analytical philosopher of the early 21st century). Quine's logical armamentarium was unrivalled, and he deployed it on behalf of some of the most peculiar notions one could hope to run across, such as the infamous Quine-Duhem thesis (that no theory can ever be refuted). This tendency led Dennett to coin the verb ``to quine'', meaning ``to deny a distinction others feel to be obvious.'' Quite unfairly, he supplemented his logical artillery with rhetorical sappers, in the form of one of the most elegant prose styles ever to flow from the pen of an American author; he could be a character in Jack Vance . He calls to mind excruciatingly formal suppers from ages now past when the fish-knife was de rigueur and where a scandalized hush would greet any lapse of punctillio. Or rather, one of the exceedingly refined diners at those suppers, for whom the proper use of the fish-knife is automatic, second nature and almost first; for one of the qualities of Quine's writing is that he makes everything, not least his minute clarity and precision, seem easy, obvious and spontaneous. (Try doing this talking about anything in the world, never mind the concept of ``ordered pair''.)

http://www.aletheia.com.pl/autorzy/quine/quine.htm
Willard Van Orman Quine urodzi³ siê w Akron w stanie Ohio w 1908 roku. Ju¿ w latach szkolnych wykazywa³ nadzwyczajny talent matematyczny oraz wyj±tkowy zmys³ analizy gramatyki i etymologii jêzyka naturalnego. W tym czasie doszed³ tak¿e do wniosku, ¿e zaszczepiona mu w domu wiara religijna jest rzecz± nie do przyjêcia, i, jak sam to uj±³, podj±³ misjê nawracania kolegów z wyznania episkopalnego na ateizm. Ku filozofii zwróci³ siê jednak przede wszystkim pod wra¿eniem Eureki Edgara Allana Poe, utworu, który uzna³ w zasadzie za s³aby, lecz który mimo to wywar³ na nim olbrzymie wra¿enie jako manifest woli zrozumienia wszech¶wiata. Dopiero do tej motywacji do³±czy³o siê owo wcze¶niej powsta³e nastawienie antyreligijne.
W trakcie nauki w koled¿u Quine'a zajmowa³a przede wszystkim matematyka i filozofia matematyczna. Studiowa³ dzie³a Peany, Russella i Whiteheada. Nastêpnie podj±³ studia filozoficzne na Uniwersytecie Harvarda, gdzie po dwu zaledwie latach broni tezy doktorskiej. W drugim roku studiów dane mu by³o wys³uchaæ wspólnego wyk³adu Russella, który by³ go¶ciem uniwersytetu, i Whiteheada, ówczesnego dziekana wydzia³u filozoficznego. Jak sam powiedzia³, wówczas to w sposób najbardziej przejmuj±cy stan±³ w twarz± w twarz z osza³amiaj±c± wielko¶ci±. To w³a¶nie popchnê³o go do po¶wiêcenia doktoratu kwestii uogólnienia Principia Mathematica Russella i Whiteheada. Wkrótce potem publikuje pierwsz± ksi±¿kê

Willard Van Orman Quine and Joseph Silbert Ullian
The Web of Belief
(Random House, 1978)
Observation
Thus the ultimate evidence that our whole system of beliefs has to answer up consists strictly of our own direct observations - including our observations of our notes and other people reports. Naturally we leave many points unchecked. Lore is handed down from our forebears. Such actual evidence as any one of us does have, however, is in the end the direct evidence of the senses. Likewise such evidence as there is and ever was, collectively, for the whole overwhelming edifice of science, has consisted only in the direct evidence of many peoples' senses. The world with its quarks and chromosomes, its distant lands and spiral nebulae, is like a vast computer in a black box, forever sealed except for its input and output registers. These we directly observe, and in the light of them we speculate on the structure of the machine, the universe. Thus it is that we think up the quarks and chromosomes, the distant lands and the nebulae; they would account for the observable data. When an observation turns out expectedly, we may try modifying our theory of that structure at one or another point. When an observation shows that a system of beliefs must be overhauled, it leaves us to choose which of those interlocking beliefs to revise; this important fact has come up repeatedly. The beliefs face the tribunal of observation not singly but in a body. But note now that the observation sentence itself, the sentence that reports or predicts a present or imminent observation, is peculiar on this score. It does face the tribunal singly, in the usual case, and simply stands or falls with the observation that it reports or predicts. And, standing or falling, it sustains or lets down the system of beliefs that implied it.

Willard Van Orman Quine
American Philosopher
June 25, 1908-December 25, 2000
Quine was the most famous, most widely cited, American philosopher of the 20th century. His career began in the early 1930s, when he visited Carnap in Prague. Under the early intellectual influence of the ideas of the Vienna Circle, Quine blended them with the American pragmatist's doctrines to create a unique brand of pragmatic holism. In particular, in his celebrated essay `Two Dogmas of Empiricism' he made a devastating attack on the analytic/synthetic distinction, which forced those in the analytical tradition to re-assess the fundamental concepts and purpose of epistemology and the theory of meaning. Quine's views are uncompromisingly materialist and extensionalist. He is not, though, a nominalist in the traditional sense, since he allows that quantification over mathematical objects such as numbers and sets is necessary for the simplest and most economical theoretical account that we can give of our total experience. Quine brought the logical rigour of Frege, Russell and the Logical Positivists to bear on a wide range of problems in the philosophy of logic, language and science. His most famous work

Willard van Orman Quine «The Ways of Paradox», en The Ways of Paradox and other Essays Harvard University Press, 1976, pp. 1-18 (extracte i traducció del cap. 1) Frederic, el jove protagonista d' Els pirates de Penzance , ha arribat a l'edat de 21 anys, després d'haver celebrat només 5 aniversaris del seu naixement. Són diverses les circumstàncies que fan possible aquest fet. L'edat es calcula com a temps transcorregut, mentre que l'aniversari del naixement coincideix, naturalment, amb la data de naixement. El 29 de febrer apareix amb menys freqüència que una vegada a l'any. Atès que la situació de Frederic és possible, ¿on es troba el seu caire paradoxal? Simplement en el seu aspecte inicial absurd. La probabilitat que un home sigui de més de n anys d'edat al seu enèsim aniversari és com de 1/1460 o una mica més si tenim en compte tendències degudes a l'estació. I aquesta probabilitat és tan petita que fàcilment ens oblidem de la seva existència. ¿Podem dir llavors, en general, que una paradoxa és només una conclusió que al principi sembla absurda però que sempre hi ha un raonament que la fa creïble? Al cap i a la fi, això resulta bastant proper a la veritat. Però amb això no ho diem tot. El raonament que fa creïble una paradoxa pot posar en clar el caràcter absurd d'una premissa amagada o d'una concepció considerada prèviament com a central per a una teoria física, per a les matemàtiques o per al procés de pensament. Per tant, és possible que s'amagui una catàstrofe en la paradoxa aparentment més innocent. Més d'una vegada en la història, el descobriment de la paradoxa ha donat peu a una reconstrucció important dels fonaments del pensament. Durant algunes dècades, els estudis dels fonaments de les matemàtiques han estat posats en estat de confusió i al mateix temps enormement estimulats per la seva confrontació amb dues paradoxes, una proposada per Bertrand Russell en 1901 i l'altra per Kurt Gödel en 1931.

Willard van Orman Quine
Willard van Orman Quine (1908- ), of Harvard, is America's most prominent philosopher-logician. He rejected the positivists' analytic-synthetic distinction, arguing that a language system is a "web of belief" in which any statement may be held to be true if adjustments are made elsewhere in the system. He believed that any language system commits its users to the existence of certain things, and that we choose our language system on mostly pragmatic grounds. The most useful language system, Quine thought, is that of science.
