Summary: On a par with the rest of his work
Comment: The only complaint I have about this collection (and of *Theories and Things*) is a certain lack of systematicity. In the collection, of course, not at all in Quine's thought. Both contain a very broad range of essays from a decade or two of Quine's career. They range from a public radio piece on the limits to extremely technical work in logic. Quine's range is immense, and it would be much more accessible if his essays were collected more thematically (in something like the manner of Davidson's) than, as I take it they were, just chronologically. It's difficult either to remember where you read a passing comment of his, or to try to read systematically through all of his essays on a given theme.

A passing complaint, I suppose. Other than that it's just first rate.
