- Another entry from the Donald Davidson in Conversation series, this time speaking with his mentor and lifelong friend WVO Quine.
Thank you to Philosophy International and Richard Fara, who are responsible for this clip. None of this material belongs to me. - Věda a technologie
Just imagine having written "On Two Dogmas of Empiricism" or "Truth and Meaning" yourself. One simply cannot doubt the greatness of these men!
What a great mind, Quine.
thank you very much, sir. a great conversation indeed.
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.
The Bart Simpson voice actress? Lol
@@LewdConnoisseur no. There are two different Nancy Cartwrights.
It is always nice to listen to Davidson...
This is pure gold!
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.
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!
Is anyone here from the Rorty-Davidson conversation on Philosophical Overdose?
One rightly says, ''better late than never''!
Thanks Sam
and that was his friend and mentor... I don't want to see him asking questions to his enemies, lol
❤❤

I've been trying to track down this video for a decade.
same hahaha and im 19 yrs old
@@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?
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?!
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.

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.
Bryan Magee was the question-asker

Sounds like a word salad. The question is whether sensory information managed through induction works or predicts.
