Word and Object, philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine's most famous work, expands on ideas in From a Logical Point of View (1953) and reformulates earlier arguments like his attack on the analytic–synthetic distinction from "Two Dogmas of Empiricism". It introduces the thought experiment of radical translation and the related concept of indeterminacy of translation.
