Donald Davidson and Michael Dummett in Conversation
Переглядів 16 тис.5 років тому
Another entry from the Donald Davidson in Conversation series, this time speaking with. Michael Dummett. The two had been rivals for years, as the two disagreed on a number of substantial points in the philosophy of language. The discussion ends on a cliffhanger while Dummett straps Davidson onto a metal frame with a slow moving laser working its way up to his torso. Thank you to Philosophy Int...

Another entry from the Donald Davidson in Conversation series, this time speaking with another of his critics, Barry Stroud, on the topic of skepticism and whether Davidson's proposed resolution of skepticism is a successful elimination of the problem.

    How many doctorate degrees in philosophy are you supposed to have to understand all the fancy terminology used in this conversation? What happened to lucidity? Also: They reject truth, but are they not uttering every single sentence meaning it and wanting it to be true?!

    This discussion very much feels like a meet-up between a fantasy-book author and an avid fan, where the fan has read and discussed the literature so much that they start to try to correct the author on their world-building 😂 I like McDowell's work a lot and his passion for Davidson's work really showed here.

    Great to sit in on this conversation between these two leading philosophers; pity they were both clearly past their best. But thanks for posting! I was privileged to attend one of Davidson's lectures about ten or fifteen years before this video was shot, and when his mind was much sharper, too.

      @@dostoyevsky1222 I agree, but as I said Davidson certainly isn't as sharp in this video as he had been in the early 1980s when I attended his lectures. And the book you mention is excellent, even if I disagree with his brave attempt to repair traditional theories of predication.

    1:02:14 Such a GREAT question for such a POOR answer: "most of our direct perceptual judgements are true, not because they're based on something else... but because of... umh... how they come to have the contents they do." - Really? Talk about covering the sun with your finger! "Not some magic thing in experience..." Oh, nonono, no: Rather some magic thing in... "I DON'T KNOW WHAT AND CAN'T SAY WHY OUR PERCEPTUAL JUDGEMENTS TEND O V E R W H E L M I N G L Y TO BE TRUE" - 'All I know is that it is not because of Reality. Oh no, that's magic.' - Well, at least MAGIC seems to make SENSE. Let's believe in magical Reality! - And forget about charlatans.

      @gerhitchman 3 роки тому

      McDowell's position is anything but clear, but he does seem adamant on maintaining that some (unclear) version of consciousness can be affirmed while not giving into the myth of the given. No idea what his position actually is though.

      @fr.hughmackenzie5900 3 роки тому

      @@gerhitchman Thanks. From my more recent studies it does seem that McDowell affirms that pre-judgement perception has a "minimal" subjective conceptual contribution. So he accepts a significant given component, but it doesn’t have it’s own independent intelligibility.
