Abstract

Semantic analysis of contemporary philosophical inquiry is the core problem, and Quine is undoubtedly in the twentieth century conducted to explore the semantic engineering裡arduous, the most influential of modern thinkers. However, although the impact of Quine's great, he semantics regardless of the stance taken by the natural person has not yet been fully satisfied instruction understanding. On the one hand, the based on Quine's controversial idea of the uncertainty, scholars widely believe that regardless Quine's stance is a natural suspicion regardless of extreme stance: the meaning of the word does not exist. On the other hand, Quine in the construction regardless of its license, but to take a natural tendency to analyze the nature of the so-called "stimulus word meaning" future language sentences as the core foundation of semantics. Thus, Quine's semantic natural stance regardless what is a semantic canceled regardless, have a language or meaning regardless of the orientation of some, not very clear. This paper has two purposes: First, the author regardless above, Quine's natural regardless stance in a number of philosophers to cancel regardless positioning, is the station does not live foot stance; Second, in the text, based on Quine's natural regardless stance can be is portrayed as some kind of weaker version of about regardless, and this stance is more feasible. The investigation of linguistic meaning has been central in contemporary analytic philosophy. Quine is undoubtedly one of the most influential thinkers in the 20 century in this daunting inquiry. Despite his enormous influence, however, Quine's naturalistic perspective on meaning has not been properly understood. On the one hand, Quine's view, presented in the controversial indeterminacy thesis, is widely taken as a radical form of skepticism, namely, meaning does not exist. On the other hand, Quine invokes and heavily relies on the notion of disposition to analyze the idea of ​​stimulus meaning, which lies at the heart of Quine's discussion of linguistic meaning. It does not seem entirely clear whether Quine attempts to eliminate meaning, or to naturalize meaning by reducing it to dispositions. The aim of this paper is argue for two points. First, construing Quine's position as semantic eliminativism, as many do, Quine's position would be in deep trouble. Second, based on a textual basis, Quine's position can be alternatively construed as a modest form of dispositional reductionism, which is more tenable
