W. V. Quine, a prominent figure in twentieth-century American analytic philosophy, left an indelible mark on the field. While his primary language of expression was English, in 1942, he ventured to Brazil where he delivered a series of lectures on logic and its philosophy in Portuguese. These lectures were later compiled into the book titled O Sentido da Nova Lógica, which has yet to be fully translated into English. This remarkable volume, the first to make Quine's insights accessible to Anglophone philosophers, presents a glimpse into his views on logic and language during a crucial period of his intellectual journey.
Quine's intellectual prowess was evident in his groundbreaking ideas about semantic holism and ontology. This book serves as a valuable repository of his thoughts on these subjects, offering a snapshot of his intellectual development. Additionally, the volume includes an essay on logic that Quine originally published in Portuguese, accompanied by an extensive historical-philosophical essay by Frederique Janssen-Lauret. The significance of these previously neglected works cannot be overstated, as they will undoubtedly be of immense value to scholars engaged in the study of twentieth-century philosophy.
