Abstract

A fairly definite philosophy of science can be extracted from Quine’s Word and Object (henceforth referred to as WO). Earlier versions of his philosophy of science, for example in his From a Logical Point of View, contain phenomenalist and instrumentalist tendencies of thought, but in WO these have almost entirely disappeared in favour of an explicitly realistic philosophy of science. What, then, is Quine’s philosophy of science in WO?
