The Influence of Quine Lewis on Philosophy

Quine did not see philosophy as a foundational discipline to set up science in some way, but it was about clarifying what science is doing. Pat Churchland and Owen Flanagan were both on our episodes, or big sort of disciples, they really were in the Quinean mode. There's no facts in the world that are kind of only uncoverable via philosophical methods. Anything that's really gets to count as a fact has to be something that you can discover via natural scientific methods.
