CRITIQUE OF THE SENSE IN W. V. O. QUINE’S PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The article is devoted to the studies the problems of interpretations and representations of the concept of “sense” in logical semantics , which has been analyzed by the outstanding American philosopher and mathematician of the middle and a second half of the XX century – Willard Van Orman Quine, who has snooped far enough into the presented problem in numerous of his works, mainly, his “Word and Object” and “From a Logical Point of View”. The central critical theories of understanding Quine’s thought of the sense is seen at another angle, that is, as a main concept that gets some responds of the philosophers in post-analytical philosophy tradition, along with it is reviewed as a broadly interpreted concept. Additionally, modes of such critique can be found as in some classic works of the philosophers like D. Davidson or M. Dummett, or as of such modern analytical philosophers as: M. Baghramian, L. Komacha, P. Livingston, J. Smith, and others.
 About this material few modern works and Quine's as well have been particularly researched, and of our opinion, the movement of such explanation of the sense problem in Quine's works keeps coming to be emphasized in today's philosophy. We result this work on that the critique of the sense in Quine's works hadn't been done the way perfectly: not enough enlightened though. Hereby we claim to keep monitoring and not to stop studying of the metaphysical context of works and cultural as well. The better that point becomes to get larger area to study the more successful the research is expected.
 That way of criticizing half-metaphysical concepts aimed as a method, on the one hand, is required for a more advanced investigations of the proliferation in post-analytical philosophy works, and, on the other hand, as a reason of ideas and views separation, which are not relevant to the traditional analytic philosophy, is taken and viewed using examples. New critique of few aspects of Quine's philosophy are necessary to get closer to the as the philosopher's ideas to the newest ideas for the development of the science as well. Many key and well points can be gotten from the way to analyze the works. Interpretations of meaning of the concept of sense in the different papers of analytical philosophers is supposed to change the key direction of the considered this topic.
