Russell first presented the theory in his paper \"On Denoting\", and for many years the course of the philosophy of language was set by this paper. In 1951, approximately fifty years after the publication of Russell's famous paper, Quine published \"Two Dogmas of Empiricism\" and the philosophy of language took a radically different turn. Michael Dummett has called Quine's paper \"probably the most important philosophical article written in the last half century\" ([7] , p. 375). The interest in language that Russell's paper prompted was a somewhat local interest. There were some central or prominent problems of philosophy that philosophers, following Russell's lead or example, sought to solve or dissolve by a careful analysis of some word or phrase or by attention to the logic or grammar of words like 'the' and 'Scott'. The interest in language to which Quine's paper led, on the other hand, was a broader interest. Language, on Quine's view, is a single, articulated structure. The importance or significance of each expression is to be understood in terms of the contribution it makes not merely to the understanding of whole sentences but to the understanding of the entire language. The mastery of language is to be thought of as the mastery of a theory. The theory is tested by the data of linguistic behavior but not in any piecemeal way. Analytical hypotheses, rules of logic or grammar for words or phrases, for adverbs or denoting expressions, do not face the tribunal of evidence individually but only as a corporate body.","PeriodicalId":347142,"journal":{"name":"Life of Texts","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132193411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
