W.V.O Quine is an American analytic philosopher of naturalism. His naturalist view has a tendency towards scientific positivism and empiricism. In the mid-20th century, he criticized the views of logical positivism which he thought were less radical. In continuity with his views, Quine has an epistemological style that is in line with scientific reasoning. This is shown by his coherentism justification theory which is described as a web of beliefs. Coherentism as justification assumes that beliefs are interconnected with each other. Thus, if a belief is justified, it will justify other beliefs. Through this coherentism, Quine's holism view that brings together the unity of analytic and synthetic constructions in language can be realized. Coherentism itself is the opposite of the view of foundationalism which considers that a justification requires a basic belief as a foundation. This paper aims to explain the style of justification and the history of Quine's scientific philosophy. This paper also aims to explain the implications of W.V.O. Quine's coherentism in the history of philosophy.
