Quine: naturalismul deşirat
Quine: undercut naturalism

Summary/Abstract: Quine is well known for his defence of philosophical naturalism. Traditionally, naturalism has problems with various topics; and Quine was certainly aware of these. This paper argues that what he says about two of the problem areas, mathematics and norms, effectively ends up undercutting his naturalism. Specifically, his platonism in mathematics destroys any ontological naturalism; and his views about norms destroy the force of methodological naturalism.
