Summary: excellent introduction to rational thought
Comment: This book points to the underpinnings of rational thought and scientific method. There is no such thing as THE scientific method. But all versions of the scientific method have certain basic elements such as hypothesis, evidence, testing of theory and so forth. This book explains all this and from the position of philosophy that invented the scientific method. The authors show the logic behind rational thought which all adds up to eminent common sense. After reading this book many years ago, it became clear to me how Einstein came up with the theory of relativity. The theory is an explanation of why the Miachelson-Morley experiment failed to find the ether. This book makes a lot of sense. Its a bit pricey, but if you like the philosophy behind rational thinking and scientific method, you might consider the purchase of this book.

Summary: Boring, but useful
Comment: The book is quite basic and introductory. I think it would be useful to many people who want to start thinking philosophically. However, it is boring. Yet, I do like the term "web of belief" a lot. Unfortunately, though, they do not expound upon it much in that book.

Summary: Quine made easy
Comment: A very enjoyable, introductory philosophy text. It is a very readable and easy introduction to Quine's thought.
I highly recommend it to the thoughtful reader who is interested in contemporary philosophy.
