Quine was Lewis's advisor and Lewis understood Quine very well he just didn't hold to the strong holism that Quine did. Also Lewis didn't just fucking do modal realism you're really underestimating the influence he had on philosophy of language by developing intensional semantics and basically every major topic in metaphysics he has a great paper on. For example he has an amazing paper on free will which Van Inwagen admitted was the best he had ever read. He also played a huge role in the philosophy of mind by developing a functionalist theory of the mind holy shit you are so underrating him so much it's unbelievable he was so influential and popular. Finally he had an amazing paper on holes which this whole board should fucking read before they talk about analytic philosophy
