QUINE, Willard van Orman (1908-):
American philosopher and logician whose essay "The Two Dogmas of Empiricism" (1951) republished in From a Logical Point of View (1953), seriously challenged reductionism and the VERIFICATION PRINCIPLE. His later work concerned the nature of language and has been seen to support the view of John DEWEY as well as encouraging a radical approach to translation.
