W.V.O. Quine, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, is a naturalist and an empiricist. Quine views science as a vast web of interconnected beliefs which is related to the sensory experience only "along the periphery." Vital connections between theory and evidence are made through what he calls "observation sentences." Interestingly, Quine believes that young children also learn language by using observation sentences, disagreeing with those who believe the basic structures of language are innate to human understanding. For Quine, the innate capacity involved is not innate ideas, but an instinct for induction.
