Abstract: In an earlier paper11 have argued that certain passages in W.V. Quine’s work indicate that he should accept what I call an empiricist conception of truth. According to such a conception, a sentence is true, roughly speaking, if it is entailed by an empirically adequate theory. Quine is unwilling to accept my proposal, and he has indicated certain problems to which it gives rise. In this paper, I shall discuss Quine’s response, and I shall also try to develop a more satisfactory version of the empiricist conception of truth.
