I think I prefer more of a synthesis-analysis approach to philosophy, kind of like baking a cake: you mix a whole bunch of ideas together and you can create something gorgeous to savour and contemplate that the ingredients alone could never have suggested. Traditional methodology of analysis-synthesis (a process of isolating or working back to what is more fundamental by means of which something, initially taken as given, can be explained or reconstructed) seems to be trying to get back to the cow by butchering it and piecing the joints of meat back together again. Although Quine touches on this, I think his arguments are from a different angle and so I continue to maintain my maxim: I Have No Time for Quine!
