It is a consequence of Quine’s confirmation holism that the logical laws are in principle revisable. Some have worried this
is at odds with another dictum in Quine, viz., that any translation which construes speakers as systematically illogical is
ipso facto inadequate. In this paper, I try to formulate exactly what the problem is here, and offer a solution to it by (1)
disambiguating the term ‘logic,’ and (2) appealing to a Quinean understanding of ‘necessity.’ The result is that the different
theses in Quine’s philosophy of logic are to be situated within different contexts of inquiry.
