Thank you so much for posting these! Such valuable conversations. Their preservation and dissemination is a real service to philosophy. I hope someone will find the rest, including the conversations with Nancy Cartwright and Jennifer Hornsby.
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.
@@mycroftholmes7379 Wow, attempting to track down this video since you were nine, seems to me, to be quite the commitment. How is that going for you? Have you found it?
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.
Just imagine having written "On Two Dogmas of Empiricism" or "Truth and Meaning" yourself. One simply cannot doubt the greatness of these men!

The Bart Simpson voice actress? Lol
@@Kittylover074 no. There are two different Nancy Cartwrights.

thank you very much, sir. a great conversation indeed.
What a great mind, Quine.
This is pure gold!
It is always nice to listen to Davidson...
I've been trying to track down this video for a decade.

How is that going for you?
Have you found it?
and that was his friend and mentor... I don't want to see him asking questions to his enemies, lol
It's very important to state the date and time of these conversations, please. And tahank you very much for the content
Could anyone explain Quine's version of Pre-Ordained harmony to me, please?!
One rightly says, ''better late than never''!
Is anyone here from the Rorty-Davidson conversation on Philosophical Overdose?
Thanks Sam

Bryan Magee was the question-asker
quines contribution to the application of set theory created a new method of investigation within the domain of philosophy and logic.
I wonder what Quine would have thought of Jon Barwise's work!
I’m almost feel bad for poor old Quine at some points
Lol, he had a stuttering way of talking since before sliced bread, it's just that he was getting rusty.
I feel bad for the poor old grammatically challenged.

they're all so doddery and old 😂 i bet chrysippus ad carneades looked just the same, but for the silly 20th century uniform
Sounds like a word salad. The question is whether sensory information managed through induction works or predicts.
Good
