\^Fuine's philosophical writings are for the most part contained in two collections of essays, From a Logical Point of View1 and recently The Ways of Paradox,2 and in an important book, Word and Object.3 The present survey will be restricted to views ex pressed in these three volumes, although Quine's work in logic is continuous with his work in philosophy.4 The present Part One describes and defends Quine's views about meaning. The follow ing Part Two does the same for his views on other subjects, especially ontology and epistemology. The two parts are related in a way to be explained in Part Two.
