Abstract:

AbstractThe recent publication of a third anthology of Donald Davidson's articles, and anticipated publication of two more, encourages a consideration of themes binding together Davidson's lifetime of research. One such theme is the principle of charity (PC). In light of the mileage Davidson gets out of PC, I propose a careful examination of PC itself. In Part 1, 1 consider some ways in which Davidson articulates PC. In Part 2, 1 show that the articulation that Davidson requires in his work on epistemology is untenable given what Davidson says in his work on semantics. I conclude that Davidson can use PC only in his work on semantics or not at all.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTRobert Myers’ interpretation of Donald Davidson's practical philosophy gets Davidson right in many fundamental respects. Myers rightly argues that Davidson avoids inconsistencies among internalism, ethical objectivity, and the belief-desire theory by modifying central elements of the Humean belief-desire theory, and that Davidson's alternative legitimizes the extension of his interpretation and triangulation arguments into the practical sphere. But at a crucial fork in the interpretive road Myers loses his way. Davidson follows G.E.M. Anscombe down a different path, one that takes individual desires to be constituted in part by evaluative judgements.

Abstract:

‘There is no such thing as a language,’ Donald Davidson tells us (‘A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs,’ in Ernest LePore, ed., Truth and Interpretation [Oxford: Basil Blackwell 1986] 433-46, 446). Though this is a startling claim in its own right, it seems especially puzzling coming from a leading theorizer about language. Over the years, Davidson’s important essays have sparked the hope that there is a route to a positive, nonskeptical theory of meaning for natural languages. This hope would seem to be dashed if there are no natural languages. Unless Davidson’s radical claim is a departure from his developed views, the Davidsonian program appears to have undermined itself.In a recent book, Donald Davidson’s Philosophy of Language: An Introduction (which Davidson has enthusiastically endorsed), Bjorn Ramberg promises to establish that Davidson's startling claim is not an aberration. Rather, it 'emerges as a natural development of his theory of meaning' (2). He reads the claim that there is no such thing as a language as the claim that the concept of a language has no useful theoretical role. Like the concepts of meaning and reference, it is a 'ghost of reification' which Davidson attempts to 'exorcise' from our philosophical thinking about linguistic communication. All three concepts can be seen as mere ladders to be kicked away once the edifice of a Davidsonian theory of linguistic communication is properly erected on the sole foundation of the concept of truth. The result, he assures us, ‘is not a theory which undercuts itself, but a comprehensive, coherent account of the phenomenon of linguistic communication’ (3).

Abstract:

AbstractScholars in religious studies are increasingly drawing important insights from Davidson's philosophy of language. Unfortunately, the most prominent of Davidson's interpreters in religious studies have been Rortian neopragmatists who, I argue, have read into Davidson views which are not his own. This essay seeks to disentangle Davidson's stance from its neopragmatist interpretations. The goal is to understand his stance in order to see how one might approach the study of religious beliefs, and in particular religious metaphysical beliefs, from a Davidsonian perspective.

Abstract:

To approach the philosophical anthropology (p. 4) of Donald Davidson is to get ready for an unusually high number of laps around the hermeneutic circle. Apparently a problem-oriented philosopher, Davidson presents his views in a continuing series of dense, tightly focussed papers on narrowly circumscribed topics. The lines of the big picture are mostly implicit. Yet it is the scope and the power of this picture that has made Davidson one of the most significant philosophers of this century. Naturally, this makes Davidson's work an extremely tempting—and extremely treacherous—target for the exegete with synthesizing tendencies. Until now, the sense of danger seems to have won out; secondary expositions have largely confined themselves to particular aspects of his thought. For those seeking to appreciate the cohesion and comprehensiveness of Davidson's vision, there has been no alternative but, as Ted Honderich says, to “struggle and learn,” working their way through Davidson's papers, continually calibrating and recalibrating interpretations of Davidson's detailed philosophical proposals with the emerging pattern of their interrelationships.

Abstract:

La concepción davidsoniana de la metáfora representa un quiebre radicalrespecto de la visión aristotélica tradicional, que ha sido la más influyentehasta nuestros días. Mientras para Aristóteles lo metafórico es un fenómeno semántico, para Davidson lo metafórico pertenece al campo de la pragmática. En este artículo el A. desea presentar la concepción davidsoniana de la metáfora para desde allí desarrollar algunas consecuencias en torno al significado y la interpretación. La metáfora es el trabajo de sueño dellenguaje, dice Davidson, y es esto lo que gobierna tanto la adquisición comoel crecimiento del lenguaje. La metáfora puede ser entendida como elparadigma del cambio conceptual y la creación de significado.

O objetivo desta dissertação é compreender as teses de Donald Davidson acerca do lugar do mental no âmbito de uma visão fisicalista do mundo. Com seu conceito de mental, que é parte de uma teoria explicativa da vida ordinária e da ação intencional, Davidson critica a tradição reducionista. Ele afirma que a eficácia causal dos eventos mentais no mundo físico, e a autonomia destes mesmos eventos em relação às leis estritas da física, são idéias que não estão necessariamente em contradição. Neste sentido, Davidson acredita que a eficácia do pensamento e da intenção no mundo material pode conviver com a liberdade da razão em relação às leis naturais. Há causalidade mental sem reducionismo, pois a eficácia causal do mental não precisa ser suportada por leis estritas, ou por identidades entre tipos ou propriedades mentais e físicas. A visão davidsoniana do mental foi definida por alguns críticos como sendo dualista, por considerar que a irredutibilidade da intencionalidade às leis que governam o mundo natural torna o mental como um domínio autônomo. Outros críticos, ainda, sugerem que o conceito davidsoniano de mental leva ao epifenomenalismo ou ao eliminativismo, pois caracterizaria o mental como ineficaz causalmente no mundo físico. A grande contribuição de Davidson foi a sua refinada tentativa de oferecer uma teoria holística da mente e da ação, no interior da qual pensar a relação entre as nossas crenças, desejos, intenções, e as nossas ações. Neste sentido, a sua obra mostrou que a causalidade é um conceito que não pode ser excluído do conjunto dos conceitos que usamos para tentar oferecer descrições e explicações da relação entre os nossos estados mentais e nossas ações.

Abstract:

Davidson adopts the principle that actions can be explained by the desire to reach a certain goal and the belief that one is doing what is necessary to satisfy this desire, and that this couple desire-belief constitutes a reason for the agent to act. In the analysis of an action, many reasons can be given, but only one can count as the one by which the agent acted. And if the reason by which the agent acted explains his action, this primary reason is the cause of his acting. Nevertheless, there are cases in which the reason given by the agent himself in the explanation of his action does not count, according to his own best judgment, as his best reason to act, and the cause of the action is not anymore the reason itself, but the desire that led the agent to deny what he considered the best to be done. This desire, denying his best judgment, can not be justified by the agents reasons, and must be called irrational and considered as the cause of an irrational action. In the explanation of this kind of actions, Davidson is forced to elaborate the principles of a philosophy of mind in which he takes three principles he attributes to Freud.
Davidson adota a premissa de que ações podem ser explicadas pelo desejo de atingir um objetivo e pela crença de se estar fazendo o necessário para satisfazê-lo, e que a dupla desejo-crença em questão constitui uma razão para que o agente coloque a ação em execução. Na análise de uma ação, podem ser dadas muitas razões, mas apenas uma delas conta como a razão pela qual o agente a executou. E se a razão pela qual o sujeito agiu é aquela que explica sua ação, então esta sua razão primária é a causa de seu agir. Entretanto, há casos em que a razão primária fornecida pelo próprio agente na explicação de uma ação não representa, de acordo com seu próprio melhor julgamento, a melhor de suas razões para agir, e a causa da ação não é mais a própria razão, mas o desejo que levou o agente a contrariar aquilo que ele próprio considerava o melhor a ser feito. Este desejo, contrariando o melhor julgamento do agente e não podendo ser justificado pelas razões dele, é irracional, e a causa de uma ação igualmente irracional. E na explicação de ações deste tipo, Davidson se vê obrigado a esboçar uma filosofia damente tomando de empréstimo algumas premissas que ele atribui a Freud.

Abstract:

Truth and Justification in Donald Davidson’s Philosophy”. In this paper, I attempt to discuss the tensions that exist in Davidson’s work between hisconception of beliefs as veridical by nature and its radical opposition to epistemictheories of truth. With this purpose, I introduce two modalities of philosophicalelucidation: analytic non-reductive elucidation and connective elucidation. I alsoclaim that these two modalities are characteristic of two periods of Davidson’sway of dealing with the concept of truth. I attempt to show that the considerationof these two types of elucidation allows shedding light on the way in whichDavidson’s work deals with the problem of truth and on the particular abovementionedtension.
En este artículo me propongo tratar la tensión existente en la obra deDavidson entre su concepción de las creencias como verídicas por naturaleza ysu radical oposición a las teorías epistémicas de la verdad. Para ello introduzcodos modalidades de elucidación filosófica, elucidación analítica no reductiva yelucidación conectiva y sostengo que caracterizan dos periodos en el tratamientode Davidson del concepto de verdad. Me propongo mostrar que la consideraciónde estos dos tipos de elucidación permite echar luz sobre el tratamientodel problema de la verdad en la obra de Davidson y sobre la particular tensiónanteriormente mencionada.
