Reconciling Quine and Empiricism

I haven't blogged much recently because kittens keep one busy, and I've had some interesting work to do at work. Just to show I haven't forsaken my reader, I am posting a link to this excellent piece on Butterflies and Wheels - I hope OB won't mind. I found that it really illuminated my thoughts about epistemological rationalism and relativism, and also explained that Hume quote about a rational man believing in a creator. I still think there is something to be said for the a priori and a posteriori distinction, I think there is a flaw in Quines argument - and if I could articulate it I would probably be a philosopher rather than an apparatchik.
