I probably spent more time with this book than was worthwhile. It was Quine's own interpretation of every entry, without enough background or explanation of what his book was for.

"Chiaro, ben scritto e accessibile anche ai non addetti ai lavori". Se tale può considerarsi un enunciato degno di un commento finale sulla lettura. Gli ultimi capitoli hanno fatto letteralmente un ascesa, semantica, di contenuto. :P

The Web of Belief talks about rational belief. I came across the Grue Paradox, fascinating.

The chapter about Hypothesis intrigued me. I learn about the Virtues in Hypothesis, Quine lists Conservatism, modesty, simplicity, generalization, refutability and precision for any Hypothesis.
I am more interested in Wittgenstein because of Language. Overall, I think you will learnt an outline about, "Web of Beliefs." No book is outdated, read everything.

Essays that sum up Quine's approach to analytic philosophy. The most important essay in the collection is "Two Dogmas of Empiricism". Originally published in 1951, it is one of the most celebrated papers of twentieth century philosophy in the analytic tradition. The essay is an attack on two central parts of the logical positivists' philosophy. One is the analytic-synthetic distinction between analytic truths and synthetic truths, explained by Quine as truths grounded only in meanings and independent of facts, and truths grounded in facts. The other is reductionism, the theory that each meaningful statement gets its meaning from some logical construction of terms that refers exclusively to immediate experience. "Two Dogmas" is divided into six sections. The first four sections are focused on analyticity, the last two sections on reductionism. There, Quine turns the focus to the logical positivists' theory of meaning. He also presents his own holistic theory of meaning. The collection as a whole is a classic of twentieth-century philosophy.
