Product Description
This volume investigates how, through critical engagement, the philosophy of Donald Davidson in the Western analytic tradition and some thoughts and strands in Chinese philosophy can jointly contribute to the common philosophical enterprise and shows how such comparative methodology of constructive engagement is important or even indispensable in general philosophical inquiry. The anthology consists of 12 previously unpublished essays by experts in relevant areas of study, which are organized into five parts respectively on conceptual schemes and cross-cultural understanding, the principle of charity, rationality and normativity, meaning and interpretation, and truth concern and dao concern. The anthology also includes the volume editor’s theme introduction on how the constructive engagement of Davidson’s philosophy and Chinese philosophy is possible. ... Read more

Davidson is one of the most important and influential philosophers around. This is an exciting anthology. It has articles (and D's responses to them) by McDowell, Stroud, Higginbotham, Rorty, and other notable philosophers.The strongest material here is probably that which encounters Davidson's work in the phil. of mind and action (akrasia, rationality, etc). For me, Stroud's (on radical interpretation) and McDowell's (on the scheme/content dualism) respective articles here are the most intriguing. But I must say, Davidson's biographical material is also a fun and interesting read.

Notable articles: Quine, "Where Do We Disagree"; McDowell, "Scheme Content Dualism and Empiricism"; Stroud, "Radical Interpretation and Philosophical Skepticism"; Tom Nagel, "Davidson's New Cogito"; Burge, "Comprehension and Interpretation"; Rorty, "D's Mental-Physical Distinction"; B. Vermazen, "Establishing Token-Token Psychophysical Identities."

I also recommend: Brandom, Rorty and His Critics; Smith, Reading McDowell; as well as the Davidson corpus.

I highly recommend this volume. ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Hilary Whitehall Putnam (né le 31 juillet 1926, à Chicago, Illinois), est un philosophe américain. Il est une figure centrale de la philosophie occidentale depuis les années 1960, et ce particulièrement en philosophie de l'esprit, en philosophie du langage et en philosophie des sciences. Il est connu pour appliquer le même degré de vigilance à l'égard de ses propres positions philosophiques qu'à l'égard de celles des autres, soumettant chacune d'entre elles à une analyse rigoureuse jusqu'à en exposer les insuffisances. Ce faisant, il a acquis la réputation de changer fréquemment de position. Son œuvre se déploie sur une part importante du champ philosophique : philosophie des sciences, de la logique et des mathématiques ; Philosophie de l'esprit, du langage, et de la connaissance ; métaphilosophie, éthique et politique. En philosophie de l'esprit, Putnam est surtout connu pour avoir présenté un argument redoutable contre la thèse d'identité entre les états mentaux et les états cérébraux, argument fondé sur l'hypothèse de la réalisibilité multiple des propriétés du mental, et pour sa défense du fonctionnalisme, une théorie influente relativement au problème du corps et de l'esprit. En philosophie du langage, avec Saul Kripke notamment, il a développé la théorie causale de la référence et a proposé une approche originale de la signification, nommée external...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Donald Herbert Davidson (March 6, 1917 August 30, 2003) was an American philosopher who served as Slusser Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley from 1981 to 2003 after having also held substantive teaching appointments at Stanford University, Rockefeller University, Princeton University, and the University of Chicago. His work exerted considerable influence in many areas of philosophy from the 1960s onward, but particularly in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, and action theory. Although published mostly in the form of short essays which do not explicitly rely on any overriding theory, his work is nonetheless noted for a strongly unified characterthe same methods and ideas are brought to bear on a host of apparently unrelated problemsand for synthesizing the work of a great number of other philosophers, including Aristotle, Kant, Wittgenstein, Frank P. Ramsey, W.V. Quine, and G. E. M. Anscombe. Davidson was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 6, 1917 to Clarence ("Davie") Herbert Davidson and Grace Cordelia Anthony. The family lived in the Philippines from shortly after Davidson's birth until he was about four. Then, having lived in Amherst and Philadelphia, the family finally settled on Staten Island when Davidson was nine or ten. From this time he began to attend public school, having to begin in first grade with much younger children. He then attended the Staten Island Academy, starting in fourth grade. At Harvard University he switched his major from English and comparative literatu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=295750 ... Read more

Product Description
What are the basic conditions for knowledge? What are the prerequisites for understanding other human beings? What are the conditions for emergence of beliefs that can be true or false? Mariann Solberg discusses problems related to the American philosopher Donald Davidson's (1917-2003) views on belief, truth and error. Solbergs takes Davidson's thinking on these questions to be a version of naturalized philosophy. The possibility of error is a premise for a theory of linguistically formed knowledge. The book inquires to what extent we within the Davidsonian model of radical interpretation can give an account of error. The problem of explaining how error is possible has over time come to seem close to an enigma. Davidson has taken it that if we can explain error, we can explain intentionality. An explanation of intentionality would also be an explanation of the phenomenon of normativity. A solution to the problem of error would therefore be of great interest and have rich consequences. On a metaphilosophical level the analysis of Davidson?s theory is employed to test the potential of a naturalized philosophical account of intentionality. ... Read more
