Holism/Quine/Fodor/Lepore: Quine represents a meaning holism (MH) but supposedly also a confirmation holism (CH) which equals the >Quine-Duhem Thesis.
(>Two Dogmas: phrases do not stand individually before the tribunal).
IV 39f
PragmatismVsRealism/QuineVsReductionism: verification conditions are not analytically included in statements.
Confirmation Holism/Fodor/Lepore: confirmation holism does not have to be a pragmatist, it can also be a realist. This is compatible with the Quine-Duhem thesis (i.e. that sentences are not individually verifiable). Confirmation is not a linguistic matter, but the way the world is (Quine pro realism). Quine: this is a priori equivalent to semantics.
Quine pro verificationism: sentence meaning: is a method of verification.
Quine-Duhem thesis: is highly consistent with realism.
Quine-Duhem thesis: a) any statement can be maintained if appropriate auxiliary hypotheses are provided, b) the requirement that evidence must be a posteriori.
Quine-Duhem thesis/Fodor/Lepore: the Quine-Duhem thesis can also be read as: a) QuineVsCarnap: Vs localism of confirmation or b) QuineVsCarnap: Vs localism of meaning.

Network/Quine/Fodor/Lepore: the only fixed nodes are the observational concepts.
