More than a clear, concise, nonmathematical presentation of logical perplexities and problems, this work is one written so that any intelligent layman can grasp the ideas wrestled with by Quine and other leading logicians. The manner in which the author interprets the pioneers of logical thought possesses the fascination of an exciting game rather than a dry intellectual exercise.

Synopsis
This expanded edition of The Ways of Paradox includes papers that are among Professor W. V. Quine's most important and influential, such as "Truth by Convention," "Carnap and Logical Truth," "On Carnap's Views on Ontology," "The Scope and Language of Science," and "Posits and Reality." Many of these essays deal with unresolved issues of central interest to philosophers today. About half of them are addressed to "a wider public than philosophers." The remainder are somewhat more professional and technical. This new edition of The Ways of Paradox contains eight essays that appeared after publication of the first edition, and it retains the seminal essays that must be read by anyone who seeks to master Quine's philosophy. Quine has been characterized, in The New York Review of Books , as "the most distinguished American recruit to logical empiricism, probably the contemporary American philosopher most admired in the profession, and an original philosophical thinker of the first rank." His "philosophical innovations add up to a coherent theory of knowledge which he has for the most part constructed single-handed." In The Ways of Paradox new generations of readers will gain access to this philosophy.

    The item arrived super fast, in shrink wrap that looks original. The DVD appears to be in brand-new condition, as advertised. I appreciate the competitive pricing, the seller's prompt response to questions and the great customer service. I would buy from this store again. Thank you!

    Product arrived as described, though I was concerned about the shipping. Granted, the item was bulky, but it arrived in a package that left parts of it exposed. Luckily, the post office was gentle and the item arrived in good shape, but for the price of the item and the shipping cost, I expected a bit more protection. The rest of the order was great and the delivery was very quick.

    Shipped as described in original packaging and arrived in good shape. Item was actually heavier constructed than I thought it might be. Shipping seems like a lot, but was in line with what it costs for most things these days - Seller was willing to work with us on the purchase and quickly responded to questions. Thanks for your cooperation for a smooth sale.
