Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin 1799-1837 was an esteemed Russian poet and novelist considered the founder of modern Russian literature; "The Tale of the Golden Cockerel" is the last fairy tale in verse that he wrote. While not based on any specific fairy tale this poem is a charming tale of a Tsar and a golden cockerel written in Pushkin's elegent and captivating lyrical style. This delightful book is printed by The Golden Cockerel Press whose name is taken from the title of the poem in honour of the centenary of Pushkin's death with gorgeous binding in cloth of gold by Sangorski & Sutcliffe one of the most important English bookbinding companies known for luxurious bindings using real gold and jewels.

QUINE WILLARD ORMAN VAN. THE INDETERMINACY OF TRANSLATION PRESENTATION COPY OF QUINE'S MAIN WORK
Word and Object.
N.Y. Wiley & Sons 1960. 8vo. Orig. olive green full cloth w. gilt and black lettering and blindstamped seal to front board and in orig. d.-j. Binding w. a bit of sunning and soiling to spine and minor bumping to capitals and corners otherwise nice and clean. With the rare original dust-jacket in excellent condition w. a tear to upper front hinge no loss and a few other small nicks and tears w. almost no loss. Some underlinings and marginalia in pencil. XV 1 294 pp. � First edition presentation-copy of Quine's main work in which he introduces the notorious indeterminacy of translation thesis. This is the most philosophical of all of Quine's works and it has greatly affected the development of logic philosophy of language and mathematics and analytic philosophy in general.<br><br>The presentation-inscription to front free end-paper reads as thus: "To Rod Firth/ with best regards./ Van". Roderick Firth was Quine's colleague as professor of philosophy at Harvard. He was chairman of the philosophy department at Harvard from 1957 until 1963. He earned a doctorate at Harvard in 1943 joined the faculty in 1953 and became Alford Professor of Natural Religion Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity in 1962.<br><br>It is in his "Word and Object" that Quine propounds his "indeterminacy of translation"-thesis which became central in the development of philosophy of language. "Language is a social art. In acquiring it we have to depend on intersubjectively available cues such as to what to say and when. Hence there is no justification for collating linguistic meanings unless in terms of men's dispositions to respond overtly to socially observable stimulations." Preface p. IX.<br><br>Quine bases his main thesis on his consideration of the linguist who attempts to translate a hitherto unknown language. There are different methods that the linguist could apply as to the breaking down of sentences and distribution of function among the words. Quine reaches the conclusion that if any hypothesis of translation needs to be defended this can only be by appeal to context by determining what other sentences the language user would utter in the language that is unknown to the linguist. But even here the indeterminacy of translation sets in because according to Quine any hypothesis can be defended if only enough other hypotheses of other parts of the language are adopted. <br>This indeterminacy of language also applies to the known languages and even one's own and thus Quine implies that there are no such entities as "meanings" of right and wrong. Quine thus denies any absolute standards in translating one language into another but he admits that there are good and bad translation -this is just not philosophically or logically relevant. Translation can be inconsistent with behavioral evidence however and thus Quine propounds his pragmatic view of translation. <br><br>"Neurath has likened science to a boat which if we are to rebuild it we must rebuild plank by plank while staying afloat in it. The philosopher and the scientist are in the same boat. If we improve our understanding of ordinary talk of physical things it will not be by reducing that talk to a more familiar idiom; there is none. It will be by clarifying the connections causal or otherwise between ordinary talk of physical things and various further matters which in turn we grasp with the help of ordinary talk of physical things."
