W.V.O. Quine's relation with nominalism is complicated and controversial. In one context Quine has been attacked for being "nominalistic", while in another context he has been attacked for not being "nominalistic". Furthermore, Quine considered himself to have abandoned his early "nominalistic" views, but those who attack him for being "nominalistic" do not overlook his conversion.
In this paper, I first clear up the misconception about Quine and his association with "nominalism". Then I point out the genuine problems of Quine's nominalism. Finally, I suggest several ways to solve those problems. The solution recommended in this paper is the one suitable for the sailors of Neurath's ship.
