Abstract

Quine's challenge — despite his deep disagreement with some of the basic tenets of phenomenology and any thought taking "intentionality" as a central focus of attention — shares a basic attitude with this strand of thought: philosophical reflection will necessarily transcend the border of what is, today or at any other time, considered to be philosophy.
