| Research Abstract |
In this research it turned out that Quine's view of immanent truth and his view of transcendent or absolute truth were consistent in his naturalism. The point is that we cannot understand truth from within a theory. In contrast, it turned out that Quine explained "warrant" in terms of physicalistic stimulus because advocates of each theory can equally referred to stimulus, therefore we could evaluate theories objectively in terms of stimulus.
