Abstract

The paper presents Peirce's and Quine's views on meaning. Peirce considers meaning in its full form to be a habit which joins a concept to an operation. Quine takes a behaviouristic view on meaning and criticizes all approaches that admit meanings as separate entities. He also opposes the view that sentences have separate meanings. Yet, in the case of Peirce's semiotics, this criticism is weakened: most of Quine's arguments do not apply to that system. Both approaches prove to be based on similar principles.
