what are Quine's accomplishments
many consider him one if not the greatest american philosopher of all time, but what did he do?
>>
>>8516580
he made metaphysics respectable again
>>
>>8516580
Two Dogmas of Empiricism. Other than that most of his (good) stuff was in logic and mathematics and boring shit like that.

>>8516580
Why would you say he never did anything if you don't even know what he did?
>>
>>8516588
lol no he didn't, he just destroyed logical positivism
>>
>>8516680
thereby opening up metaphysics to analytic inquiry. The goal of logical positivism was to destroy metaphysics, once that was undermined there was nothing preventing the flourishing of analytic metaphysics

Philosophers don't admire each other because of their political views, but philosophical work.
