Excellent Interview, but was it recorded in the attic of an abandoned mansion?

I love the wind behind the interview. LoL. I just noticed that half of the other comments are about the sound effects as well 😅

Davidson, with the possible exception of Grice, is the only Philosopher whose work seriously includes the fact that human knowledge is communal. So many of our epistemological questions, from the most facile "how do I know my red is your red" to some of those most serious, seem almost to disappear when you include triangulation in an understanding of knowledge.

You seem to know very little about Grice or about Davidson. They have almost nothing in common. And Davidson as an externalist and as a pragmatist has many allies among, most notably, the German idealists, American pragmatists, Quine, Putnam, Rorty, Dummett, Lorenzen, Brandom, Sellars, Heidegger, Gadamer, Habermas etc.

I'm hardpressed to identify a philosopher who doesn't think knowledge is communal. Foucault: all consciousness is social, for instance.

Language only exists through us so it only exists as an idea not a thing. More accurate to consider language as metaphorical as opposed to concrete

I dont think "metaphorical" is the right word there

Language is a feature of a biological organism. It has an obvious material basis, though that hasn't been worked out, of course. Figuring that system out, which is hard, is the obvious way forward, not woo-woo romanticisms. :) Having said that, I wouldn't argue that any given utterance is biologically determined: the interesting thing is that it's a biological system with finite limits of all kinds that through recursion creates a literal infinity of individual uses/utterances. Check out some of Chomsky and others in the biolinguistics field. And none of *that* has a thing to say about creativity in writing. Creativity, period, is a bit of a mystery, as it immediately touches on free will vs determinism, which not only no one can really answer (no matter what anyone says) but also is probably the wrong dichotomy to begin with.

@@tunneling-nanotubes Yes, and I don’t think considering language itself as a metaphor as opposed to a biological capacity (a thing) is consistent with what I said.

Langue is very real. It at once imprisons us by its limitations and frees us because of its possibilities.

He's right, there is no language in that sense. But there is music. And language is made of music.
@ovrava2 жыл бұрын
There is certainly a Relation between music and language. But that Relation is not that of composition.
