Carnap versus Quine, or Aprioristic versus Naturalized Epistemology, or a Lesson from Dispositions
| Abstract | In his influential paper "Epistemology Naturalized" Quine argues that Carnap's failure to define disposition predicates and his subsequent preference for reduction sentences naturally lead to an entirely naturalized epistemology. This conclusion is too hasty, I object. Applying the account of dispositional predicates developed in No. 26 I defend Carnap's aprioristic epistemology against Quine's attacks. | |||||||||
