Se Quince ei olekaan kvitteni vaan kulmakivi, Quine, niinkuin Willard van Orman. Pienyrittäjiä. Vizitkin on sen mukaiset. Kankuri Pulma on aasin pääosassa koska se on kaikista rivoin ja typerin. Nää äijät on jonkun Puckin mukaan törkeitä mekaanikkoja, rude mechanicals, ja niistä on kirjoitettu sivumääriä. Mä muistan noi nimet Oberon ja Puck P. Mustapään pikkusievistä runoista. En tiennyt ketä ne olivat, enkä tiedä vieläkään, mutta eiköhän se kohta selviä.
ellauri079.html on line 135: The earliest known document of the lands now comprising Amherst is the deed of purchase dated December 1658 between John Pynchon of Springfield and three native inhabitants, referred to as Umpanchla, Quonquont, and Chickwalopp. According to the deed, "ye Indians of Nolwotogg (Norwottuck) upon ye River of Quinecticott (Connecticut)" sold the entire area in exchange for "two Hundred fatham of Wampam & Twenty fatham, and one large Coate at Eight fatham wch Chickwollop set of, of trusts, besides severall small giftes".
ellauri096.html on line 90: W. V. Quine (1953) agrees with Weiss’ conclusion that the teacher’s announcement of a surprise test fails to give the student knowledge that there will be a surprise test. Yet Quine abominates Weiss’ reasoning. Weiss breeches the law of bivalence (which states that every proposition has a truth-value, true or false). Quine believes that the riddle of the surprise test should not be answered by surrendering classical logic. Me too. Right on Willard van Orman Quine! Thumbs up!
ellauri096.html on line 92: W. V. Quine insists that the student’s elimination argument is only a reductio ad absurdum of the supposition that the student knows that the announcement is true (rather than a reductio of the announcement itself). He accepts this epistemic reductio but rejects the metaphysical reductio. Given the student’s ignorance of the announcement, Quine concludes that a test on any day would be unforeseen.
ellauri096.html on line 94: In later writings, Quine evinces general reservations about the concept of knowledge. One of his pet objections is that ‘know’ is vague. If knowledge entails absolute certainty, then too little will count as known. Quine infers that we must equate knowledge with firmly held true belief. Asking just how firm the belief must be is akin to asking just how big something has to be to count as being big. There is no answer to the question because ‘big’ lacks the sort of boundary enjoyed by precise words.
ellauri096.html on line 98: Quine is alluding to Rudolf Carnap’s (1950) generalization that scientists replace qualitative terms (tall) with comparatives (taller than) and then replace the comparatives with quantitative terms (being n millimeters in height).
ellauri096.html on line 102: Science is about what is the case rather than what ought to be case. This seems to imply that science does not tell us what we ought to believe. The traditional way to fill the normative gap is to delegate issues of justification to epistemologists. However, Quine is uncomfortable with delegating such authority to philosophers. He prefers the thesis that psychology is enough to handle the issues traditionally addressed by epistemologists (or at least the issues still worth addressing in an Age of Science). This “naturalistic epistemology” seems to imply that ‘know’ and ‘justified’ are antiquated terms – as empty as ‘phlogiston’ or ‘soul’.
ellauri146.html on line 400: One of the outstanding features of the Romantic era in France was the re-evaluation of the feminine. It was widely assumed that man's capacity for rational thought and scientific achievement needed to be tempered by woman's capacity for sentiment. Indeed, the beneficial influence of woman's love and compassion was considered a necessary precondition to moral development, both for the individual and for all mankind. Woman thus had redemptive qualities (cash value). Perhaps the purest expression of this constellation of ideas is to be found in the utopian religious sects of the period and in the Romantic epic. Alfred de Vigny's Eloa (1824) may be read in this context. Eloa is the first of a series of angel women appearing in the Romantic epic. She is followed by Rachel in Edgar Quinet's Ahasvérus (1833), Sémida in Alexandre Soumet's La Divine Epopée (1840), Marie in Alphonse Constant's La Mère de Dieu (1844) and Liberté in Victor Hugo's La Fin de Satan (fragments written in 1854 and 1859, published posthumously in 1886). The mission of these quasi-divine female figures is to help put an end to evil.

ellauri247.html on line 125: The motherfuckers just couldn't be bothered to check the facts from the niggers. Niinkun ei Willard Van Orman Quinekaan muka tiennyt mitä Gavagai oikeasti tarkoitti. Vittu mikä idealisti sekin oli. Silja Huttusen vastaväittäjä oli Karlgrenin poika Jussi jolla oli 1 miehen firma nimeltä Gavagai.
ellauri294.html on line 445: Umberto Eco kuvailee romaanissaan Baudolino skiapodin nimeltä Gavagai. Olennon nimi "Gavagai" on viittaus Quinen esimerkkiin käännösten määrittämättömyydestä. Saman Umberto Econ romaanissa Ruusun nimi luostarin osastotaloa koristavat kaiverrukset "tuntemattomien maailmojen asukkaista", mukaan lukien "skiapodit, jotka juoksevat nopeasti yhdellä jalallaan ja kun he haluavat suojan auringolta ojentautuvat pitkä jalkansa pystyssä kuin sateenvarjo." Pyllynreijän sijainti jää mysteerixi, ehkä ukko Nooa voisi neuvoa.

xxx/ellauri356.html on line 212: Englantilainen The Times julkaisi vuonna 1992 Barry Smithin ja useiden filosofien, mukaan lukien Ruth "Barcan formula" Marcusin, Louis Armstrongin sekä WV Quinen allekirjoittaman avoimen kirjeen, jossa vastustettiin Cambridgen yliopiston myöntämistä Derridalle kunniatohtorin arvoa. Tässä kirjeessä kritisoitiin Derridan työtä erityisesti "riittämättömyydestä selkeyden ja kurinalaisuuden standardeihin" ja mainittiin, että "monet ranskalaisetkin filosofit näkevät herra Derridassa vain syyn hiljaiseen hämmennykseen".
