Description

W. V. Quine was one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century American analytic philosophy.

Although he wrote predominantly in English, in Brazil in 1942 he gave a series of lectures on logic and its philosophy in Portuguese, subsequently published as the book O Sentido da Nova Logica.

The book has never before been fully translated into English, and this volume is the first to make its content accessible to Anglophone philosophers.

Quine would go on to develop revolutionary ideas about semantic holism and ontology, and this book provides a snapshot of his views on logic and language at a pivotal stage of his intellectual development.

The volume also includes an essay on logic which Quine also published in Portuguese, together with an extensive historical-philosophical essay by Frederique Janssen-Lauret.

The valuable and previously neglected works first translated in this volume will be essential for scholars of twentieth-century philosophy.
