View through CrossRef
In this chapter the author corrects other misunderstandings of Quine’s epistemology and focuses on five of Quine’s conceptions. The first is the roles of our sensory experiences, our observations and the stimulations of our sensory organs in our cognitive economies. The second is the nature of our evidence about the world. The third is the epistemological importance of some introspective judgments. The fourth is observation sentences (which include both objective [“a is F”] and subjective [“a looks F”] sentences). The fifth is naturalized epistemology. The chapter concludes with a concise outline of his epistemology, which Quine himself never provided.
