`I Know This Much' - by Gary Kemp, Spandau Ballet's prime mover - is simply the freshest, most exciting and best-written memoir to arrive for years.

Willard Van Orman Quine is one of the most influential analytic philosophers of the latter half of the twentieth century. This work offers an analysis of his writings and ideas in those areas of philosophy to which he contributed. It sets his work in its intellectual context, illuminating his connections to Russell, Carnap and logical positivism.

W.V. Quine's contributions to 20th-century analytic philosophy, while profound, can be intricate and frequently misinterpreted. Gary Kemp provides an updated introduction that unifies Quine's diverse perspectives, making them more accessible. This guide serves as an essential resource for newcomers to Quine's philosophy, clarifying his complex ideas and offering insights into his influential work.

The book presents a comprehensive revision, featuring a new chapter dedicated to Chomsky's theory of grammar. It expands the concluding section on contemporary philosophy of language into two chapters, addressing vital emerging topics like slurs, conceptual engineering, and experimental philosophy. This updated edition offers deeper insights into modern linguistic theories and their philosophical implications.
