Willard Van Orman Quine (1908–2000) was an analytic philosopher and logician. Quine made contributions to the discussion of epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and logic.
Quine is best known for his naturalism, namely his physicalist theory of mind and his behaviourism with regards to language. He is known for his naturalized epistemology in particular, in which he rejects traditional methods of epistemology in favour of examining the empirical data around human stimulation and formation of knowledge.
