The paper addresses the 'distal/proximal' debate between Donald Davidson and W. V. O. Quine on the nature of meaning and knowledge. It is argued that Davidson's misgivings, though interesting, are not devastating for Quine's version of empiricism, which is not readily translatable into traditional philosophical categories.
