In the areas of composition studies and rhetoric, however, Davidson is relatively unknown; he possesses neither the name recognition nor the influence of other contemporary philosophers of language to whom we regularly look for support and guidance, philosophers like Noam Chomsky, John Searle, Stephen Toulmin, Jacques Derrida, or Jürgen Habermas. Although Davidson does not occupy a conspicuous place in composition and rhetorics pantheon of heroes, his ideas have nonetheless influenced—albeit indirectly—the study of writing. Davidson has entered our lives primarily through his influence on Richard Rorty, who, in turn, stands along with Thomas Kuhn as one of the two most prominent progenitors of social constructionist theory. Davidson's important and largely unheralded contribution to rhetorical theory and, consequently, to composition studies resides in his elaboration of a vigorously anti-foundationalist conception of language and communicative interaction. In this interview, Davidson maintains that he has "departed from foundationalism completely," and in his version of anti-foundationalism, Davidson breaks with the Cartesian philosophical tradition that understands language to be a medium of either representation or expression. According to Rorty, Davidson's philosophy of language constitutes "the first systematic treatment of language which breaks

The SEFA will honour his memory with a monograph section devoted to his work. Philosophers interested in or familiar with Davidsonís work are encouraged to submit papers on any aspect of his philosophy. Obituario Obituary Philosopher Donald Davidson died in Berkeley (California) on August 33, 2003. He was born in March 1917 in Springfield (Massachusetts). He studied in Harvard and obtained his PhD with a Dissertation on Plato's Philebus. His decision to become a professional philosopher was strongly influenced by Quine, with whom he entertained a lifelong intellectual dialogue. He teached in Queens College in New York and in Stanford, Princeton, Rockefeller, Chicago and, finally, California-Berkeley University, where he taught as Emeritus Professor until his death. During his academic career he gave innumerable courses and lectures worldwide. His most salient doctrines are, among others, the following: anomalous monism; the thesis that reasons are causes; the defense of an ontology of events; an extensional sematics based in Tarskian truth theories; the criticism of metaphorical meanings; the rejection of the usual notion of natural languages as sets of conventions; the criticism of the dualism of conceptual scheme and content and the arguments against skepticism, empiricism and relativism derived from it; the defense of both the inelimiability and undefinability of basic philosophical concepts like belief, truth, meaning or the self.

James Donald, Imagining the Modern City: a review Guy Davidson The modern and postmodern city would appear to be well-mapped domains in recent cultural studies, cultural geography, and social theory. For the prospective student of the city of the last one hundred and fifty years, in both its general and its particular modalities, there is now available a wealth of scholarly argument about the city's geopolitical significance, its relation to questions of identity and community, its creation of new forms of perception, and its productive role in the contemporary spatialisation of social relations. In this new book, James Donald admits occasionally to an anxiety over the potential for redundancy, but his writing is overall characterised by a justified confidence in the originality of his argument. In arguing that the modern city is always imagined, Donald means something more than the familiar claim that the city is always mediated by metaphor and symbolisation (that the city is a text). Imagination, as Donald uses the concept, also includes the sense in which inhabitants of the modern metropolis mentally act to make meaning out of their environment, the ways in which they do not simply perceive urban space on the basis of some pre-existing ideological script, but also

85. Donald Davidson Interview EXCERPTS FROM AN Interview with donald davidson. From Giovanna Borradori s The American Philosopher Conversations With Quine, davidson http://www.sylloge.com/davidson_interview.html

E X C E R P T S F R O M A N Interview with Donald Davidson From Giovanna Borradori's The American Philosopher: Conversations With Quine, Davidson, Putnam, Nozick, Danto, Rorty, Cavell, MacIntyre, and Kuhn University of Chicago Press, 1994 This excerpt begins with the end of Borradori's preamble to the interview. Thought depends on a triangular configuration of relations involving at least two interlocutors and a series of shared events. What is given to the individual is not, in the last instance, the sensory organs; rather, it is this communicative triangulation. It is not perception, but intersubjectivity and interpretation that are at the basis of knowledge. ... the communicative process, understood as the reaching of a consensus by a specific social or scientific community, has always lain at the basis of thought in the pragmatist tradition, from Charles S. Peirce to Clarence I. Lewis. For Davidson, on the contrary, the notion of consensus remains secondary, and precisely herein lies his fundamental originality in comparison with the pragmatist perspective. Intersubjectivity is the root of thought, in the sense of its transcendental condition, which therefore does not require the production of a consensus. Speaking of consensus means presupposing that ideas exist prior to the consensus, and that these ideas, when confronted with other ideas, bring about an agreement. In Davidson's mind, language, understood as the intersubjective production of meanings, comes before everything: before sharing in a vision of the world, ideas do not exist.

Ideas Out of the Matrix How the late philosopher Donald Davidson showed that reality can't be an illusion By Richard Rorty, 10/5/2003 MAYBE LIFE IS A DREAM. Maybe reality is utterly different from what it appears to be. Maybe human language is inadequate to represent that reality. Maybe our minds simply cannot grasp what is going on. Maybe we are just brains in vats, fed electrical impulses that alter our brain-states, thereby creating pseudo-experiences of an imaginary world. ADVERTISEMENT This string of skeptical "maybes" is our heritage from Ren Descartes, an undeservedly influential 17th-century philosopher who suggested that what goes on in our minds might have nothing to do with what goes on outside them. One reason movies like "The Matrix" are popular is that people find it stimulating to work through some of the paradoxical consequences of this suggestion. That is also why many students enjoy philosophy courses in which they are asked to ponder such far-out possibilities as "the inverted spectrum" the hypothesis that, thanks to sex-linked neurological differences, when men look up at a clear sky, they see the color that women see when they look at fire engines, and conversely. The men's color spectrum is an inversion of the women's. But since the men and the women apply the words "blue," "red," and so forth to the same objects, they will never know that they live in differently colored worlds.

Davidson's Identity Crisis Daniel D. Hutto Centre for Meaning and Metaphysical Studies, University of Hertfordshire, Watford Campus, Wall Hall, Aldenham, Hertfordshire, WD5 8AT, England. Email: d.d.hutto@herts.ac.uk Abstract 1. Introduction 2. The Epiphenomenal Objection For all its initial attractiveness, there is a prevailing criticism of Davidson's anomalous monism which has been raised in different forms by several philosophers (Honderich (1982-84), Kim (1984, 1993), Sosa (1984, 1993), Johnston (1985), Fodor (1990), Evnine, (1991), McLaughlin (1993)). The general form of the critique goes something like this: if we accept the principle of the nomological character of causality (hereafter, PNCC), as Davidson explicitly does, then it is only the physical properties of an event which explain its causal potency and therefore the mental properties of an event are explanatorily irrelevant. Hence, his critics move from this observation to a metaphysical conclusion and argue, contra Davidson, that the mental does not and cannot in fact interact with the physical in virtue of its intentional properties. Honderich's example of the French pears may enable us to capture the character of their critique. He writes: Certain[ly] it is true that when I put some pears on the scale, something green and French did cause the pointer to move to the two-pound mark, but there in fact is no entailed law connecting greenness and Frenchness with the pointer's so moving. There is in fact no law at all connecting the event in virtue of its being something green and French with the pointer's moving to the two pound mark. (Honderich, 1982, p. 60)

Donald Davidson The Philosophy-Linguistics Connection 1967-76 Gilbert Harman Princeton University March 26, 2004 Donald Davidson was at Princeton University from 1967 to 1970 and at Rockefeller University in New York from 1970-76, occasionally teaching a seminar at Princeton. During this time he and I talked regularly, ran two conferences, and published two collections of essays. The Philosophy of Rudolf Carnap ought P then Q ought s by analogy with statements of conditional probability. Since the word if is not functioning as a sentential connective in these contexts, the logical principle of modus ponens does not apply. There are other instances of this sort of if if clauses are often used to put restrictions on the interpretations of quantifiers rather than as sentential connectives. It may be that if never functions as a sentential connective, so strictly speaking modus ponens never applies. Davidson came to Princeton in 1967, a year after his talk. He chaired the department the year after that and spent the following year at the Stanford Center for the Behavioral Sciences. Then he left Princeton for Rockefeller University and moved to New York. So, he actually spent only two years in Princeton! L should provide a systemic way to translate from L into your own language with the following restrictions: The system of translation was to take the form of a theory of truth for the other language; it was to have at most a finite number of axioms (because of considerations of learnability); and it had to be expressed in a language of first-order quantification theory. The use of second-order quantification or substitutional quantification was ruled out in part because it would trivialize the requirement that the rules of translation should take the form of a theory of truth. Appeal to possible worlds was ruled out as well for somewhat obscure metaphysical reasonss.
