Just imagine having written "On Two Dogmas of Empiricism" or "Truth and Meaning" yourself. One simply cannot doubt the greatness of these men!

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.

quines contribution to the application of set theory created a new method of investigation within the domain of philosophy and logic.

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.
