Daniel: I wrote my dissertation on Quine's naturalized epistemology and I am familiar with most of his work, and I have to say that your account of his philosophy is the best I have seen, especially for undergraduates. I can tell that you not only know your stuff, but that you love what you are doing, and the students are really engaged. I wish my lectures on Quine were as accurate, entertaining and clear as yours are. Keep it up! Rick
What minimum factors are essential for something to exist?? Would be substance and accidents for instance?? A clock has accidents it’s physical properties what it looks like and sounds like?? But what it is, it’s being a clock is independent of its accidents?? There are square clocks!! So, being a clock is it’s substance!! But, a pure substance devoid of accidents would be a pure spirit?? A non-physical entity has no accidents or physical properties?? And pure accidents without a substance might be possible if substance is actually an idea?? If substance was ultimately a phenomenological label we place on things?? Like a clock is a clock because we use clocks to tell time?? On the other hand if substance is actually the what a thing is regardless of what we deem it to be?? In that case it would be impossible for accidents to exist without a substance!!

The question is science is can I measure it? Science advances by developing new and better ways of measuring. How do we measure roundness?
for some x that exists (pebbles) X have roundness.
