A Discussion of Quine's "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" 

"Two Dogmas of Empiricism" by Harvard philosopher Willard Quine is one of the most influential but controversial works of 20th century philosophy. Among other controversial claims, Quine argues that "atoms" and "the gods of Homer" are similar in that each are merely fictions that we introduce to organize the "flux of experience." Author Bryan Kam interviews philosopher Bryan W. Van Norden of Vassar College about this seminal essay. During the audience discussion section of the panel, they are joined by Professor Isabela Granic of Radboud University in the Netherlands.
