Abstract: Provides a sympathetic account of Quine's rejection of analyticity, language-independent meanings, and other intensional objects. Explains Quine's thesis of the indeterminacy of radical translation in terms of the example of various ways to translate number theory to set theory. Elaborates a positive Quinean theory of meaning, which puts weight on translation, where translation is not a strict equivalence relation.
Keywords: analyticity, indeterminacy, meaning, Quine, radical translation, translation,
