Quine on the Analytic / Synthetic Distinction
Russell, Gillian Kay

Abstract
Peter Godfrey-Smith: Quine and Pragmatism: Quine's relationship to the “classical” pragmatist tradition, and his impact on the continuation of that tradition, are described. This influence was mostly due to a few short passages in Quine's work, especially in “Two Dogmas of Empiricism.” Quine does not appear to have been greatly influenced by Peirce, James, or Dewey, and his work departs from them on an issue they regarded as centrally important: the link between thought and action.
