Fodor/Lepore: then statements are trans-theoretical entities that can be expressed by the formulas of more than a theory. That would contradict holism. Quine nowhere says what he meant by statements. Translation holism: problem: from the fact that the proposition P necessarily presupposes that there is a proposition Q does not follow that a language can express both. > Statements/Quine, >Sentences/Quine, >Propositions/Quine, >Holism/Quine._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
