Abstract

W. V. Quine has been interpreted as a contemporary adaption of the American pragmatist movement that originated with Peirce, James and Dewey. While pragmatism plays some role in Quine's views on theory choice in science and ontology, I argue that this is insufficient for classifying his work with the early pragmatists or with recent revivals of pragmatism.
