Question
This thinker addressed the problem of empty names by asking “What is there?” and replying “Everything.” This thinker claimed that “to be is to be the value of a bound variable.” Otto Neurath (“NOY-rot”) inspired the title of this thinker’s book Web of Belief, as well as this thinker’s use of a metaphor for improving conceptual schemes like a sailor fixing a boat. This thinker proposed an experiment about a person who sees a rabbit and says “gavagai” to illustrate the “inscrutability of reference” and the “indeterminacy of translation.” A paper by this author that attacks the analytic/synthetic distinction opens with the statements “No unmarried man is married” and “No bachelor is married.” For 10 points, name this philosopher who wrote Word and Object and “Two Dogmas of Empiricism.” ■END■
