This is a book to be savored, with a little something for a surprisingly wide variety of tastes. Here is Quine on the marvels of The Times Atlas, the virtues and vices of Mencken"s The American Language, the mixed blessings that result from flush times for academia, and the bleariness of Mortimer Adler"s vision of philosophy. Of course, Quine"s more familiar concerns are also represented, with most of the book"s twenty-six essays being devoted to various aspects of ontology, epistemology, semantics, and logic...Together they make a wonderful selection of fine, sparkling Quine.
