Quine’s celebrated paper ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’. This seminar was generously funded by the Indian Council of Philosophical Research, New Delhi, University Grants Commission, New Delhi and United States Educational Foundation in India, Kolkata. All these papers were submitted for this seminar except the one by Pranab Kumar Sen. Since Sen's paper directly deals with the issue that the present volume purports to discuss, we have decided to include it in this volume. We are deeply grateful to Rama Sen for kindly allowing us to include the paper in this volume. We are also thankful to Marcia Cavell and Arati Bhattacharya for giving us their consent to publish the papers of Donald Davidson and Sibajiban Bhattacharya. We take the opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all the contributors for their encouragement and for permitting us to publish their papers in this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The publication of this volume is being funded by the University Grants Commission under SAP (DRS - Phase 1) in Department of Philosophy, Rabindra Bharati University.

V. O. Quine published his ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’, which stirred up one of the biggest controversies in the history of philosophy. After half a century, we find it worthwhile to a take look at the issues that evolved from this essay through the eyes of the traditional Indian philosopher. There are several features in Quine to which an Indian philosopher can react meaningfully, with the assistance of the concepts that Indian tradition has made available to her. This interaction, we believe, will give birth to a renewed dialogue between the two intellectual traditions, which has the promise of furthering the pursuit of truth of the philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The major issues that Quine addresses in the \"Two Dogmas of Empiricism’ are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The history of the analytic-synthetic distinction and Quine's Response to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The problems concerning analyticity and a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Frege's meaning-reference distinction and Quine’s skepticism regarding meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Synonymy. definition and semantic rules— Quine’s criticism of Carnap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Quine on reductionism and Carnap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Holism about science. language and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Science and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Quine’s ‘Two Dogmas of Empiricism’ can be divided into two parts. In the first part of the paper Quine explores different ways of making sense of the notion of analyticity and shows how each of these attempts fails. He also raises the problems that Carnapian reductionism faces, The second part of the paper describes what remains of empiricism (and philosophy in general) after renouncing the analytic-synthetic distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\" size=\"5\"\u003e**Contents and Sample Pages**\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052b.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052c.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052d.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052e.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052f.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052g.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052h.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/nax052i.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Occultnthings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44645188731181,"sku":"NAX052","price":25.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/2117\/products\/nax052.jpg?v=1677933516","url":"https:\/\/occultnthings.com\/ar\/products\/empiricism-and-two-dogmas-nax052","provider":"Occult-N-Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
