On Quine’s many logic views, his logic truths play a very important role.The first chapter of this paper is the introduction part,which introduces Quine’struth theoretical research status in the domestic and foreign scholars,laying down afoundation for subsequent start.it introduces the research methods usedherein:Comparative research methods,literature research methods and Conceptualanalysis methods.The theoretical study on truth of Quine starts from the second chapter.The secondchapter illustrates the two dogmas of Quine’s critique of empiricism content atfirst:The first dogma of empiricism is considering the distinction between analyticstatements and synthetic statements which believing there is a clear line can bedrawn,Quine did not trust there are such boundaries.by discussing analyticalbackground,using analysis of the relationship between meaning and naming,definitiingand interpretating,synonymous replacing with each other and make the rules onartificial language,we were unable to describe this line.So there is no clear linebetween the analysis statement and comprehensive statement.The second Section ofthe second Chapter analyzes the impropriety of the confirmed theory and thereductionism,considering the first dogma of empiricism and the second one as the twoaspects of a suspected coin.The two dogma of empiricism support each othe,if wedenied The first dogma,it also denies the second one.Then the paper begins to discuss the philosophical nature of logical truths.Byanalyzing Quine’s views on the Priori of logical truths in the third chapter,he get theempiricism without a dogma combining with of the holism views on knowledge.whileAmerican pragmatism thought also played a huge impact on Quine’s theory oftruth.The third quarter analyzes nature of pragmatism in Quine’s theory of truth.Logical truths with inevitability, which is one of the essential attributes of thelogical truth?we discuss this issue in the fourth chapter.After giving the selectedcriterias of Quine’s holism hypothesis,we begin to disscuss the possibility of wrong and revise of logical truths,and analyse the views of logician on Quine’s theory oftruth.it makes the judgment on the revisability and of logical truth by combining withthe knowledge of and.The final Conclusion:the logical truth is revisable,but can not befalsifiable.
