What philosophy did Quine disagree with?
Conceptual analysis
Existentialism
Nihilism
Utilitarianism
Answer
Conceptual analysis, a philosophical method that emphasizes the analysis of the meanings of concepts, was a dominant approach in the early 20th century. Quine argued against this method, claiming that it was too narrow and focused on individual concepts rather than the broader context of language and experience. He proposed instead a more holistic approach to understanding language and meaning.
