Description
Word and Object by Willard Van Orman Quine is a landmark work in 20th-century philosophy, addressing issues in language, reference, and meaning. Quine challenges traditional views on the relationship between language and reality, introducing key concepts such as the “indeterminacy of translation” and “ontological relativity.” This book explores how linguistic frameworks shape our understanding of the world, questioning the objectivity of meaning and the nature of knowledge itself. Essential for students of philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive science, Word and Object presents Quine’s influential views on semantics and epistemology, reshaping debates in analytic philosophy.
