Probably so, but they could be characterized in a manner that relates. A problem I see is the often implicit presupposition that consciousness is clea...
That's a bridge between two things that I've yet to have connected. Intriguing. I suspect that I will not grant meaning or truth to such simple biolog...
There are specific circumstances in which we must say that appealing to convention is an unjustified, unjustifiable, wrong, and/or otherwise mistaken ...
If you want to better understand what Davidson is getting at, like I do, then perhaps we could use our discussion to our mutual benefit. Rather than r...
Since you've claimed Davidson is using the term "theory" in an 'inapt' manner, I've thought about it and decided that you could not be more wrong, my ...
There's a bit of a misunderstanding between us, and it seems to be growing. Let's see if we can resolve that prior to continuing, for if we cannot, fu...
You'll have to spell this out for me, by quoting him in the relevant context. He's covering a lot of ground in that paper... or trying to anyway. I su...
Do you find that the three principles are lacking in the capacity to take proper enough account of the approaches you mentioned? He also talks at leng...
Davidson agrees, and actually talks about that in a little bit of detail. It's not that the speaker and/or audience is aware of how they successfully ...
The above is Davidson's report of the conventional understanding regarding what successful communication with speech requires. The three principles se...
Yes, I agree with Davidson on that point. This assumes that the three principles he proposes 'covers' conventional accounts(standard descriptions) of ...
I think we would, but... The question is how we understand what is meant when that differs from what is said and what is said is not in accordance wit...
It may not matter, but I'd say that that is not quite what I'm saying. There's a little more nuance than that suggests. Not much, but a little. I'm sa...
Hey! That's too bad that you're losing interest. I'm gaining understanding the more I read here and back to the paper... Your notion of association, a...
Good point. The suffering of the American people due to covid is sobering despicable prima facie evidence that the government is not working on behalf...
What's shared, to the extent that communication succeeds, that is not learned or governed by rules or conventions, is the very ability(which could be ...
Whereas, I read that as saying the problem is the assumption that communication by speech requires a common method or theory of interpretation that is...
Davidson wrote.. The question is, do the three principles forwarded by Davidson take proper account of the standard descriptions? If they do, then Dav...
That looks like a misunderstanding to me... That does not deny linguistic competence. It does not say that there is no such thing as linguistic compet...
There's not enough time to do both, proceed with the Supreme Court nomination and come to agreeable terms and conditions with relief. The strategy is ...
That move will be used against him, and rightly so. Continue aggressively moving forward with Supreme Court nomination. End relief talk. There's not e...
Watch closely and prior to recording his 'speech' he exits view for a time period long enough for him to be administered enough oxygen to catch his br...
How would the T sentence method work for translating meaningful sentences that are not truth apt? For example... "Don't be scared of the virus." "Don'...
I suppose I'm positing that the ability to attribute meaning to an otherwise meaningless utterance(to the interpreter) satisfies the demand that David...
According to Davidson, the problem is this: what interpreter and speaker share(the understanding of the speaker's words), to the extent that communica...
The problem is exactly how we successfully interpret malapropisms despite the fact that they are examples of incorrect, mistaken, unconventional, and ...
In addition, I've already begun laying the groundwork for an exposition, by pointing out that that which is interpreted is already meaningful, and tha...
I'm not suggesting that it provides all the answers. I'm strongly suggesting that it adequately explains how we successfully interpret malapropisms. I...
If what were this simple? The discussion? The problem? The proposed solutions? You're presupposing that the conventional discourse has 'it' right, and...
Davidson attempts to account for how we successfully interpret unconventional language use such as malapropisms by positing his notions of prior and p...
Talking about rules doesn't help. Rules are conventional. The conventional rules of language use cannot take account of the success of unconventional ...
I find Davidson's account flawed in the ways I've set out heretofore. What you quoted was part of my position on the matter that Davidson is addressin...
That post gets us back to the substance. I appreciate the fact that many others here like yourself have offered background. It helps me tremendously! ...
Or perhaps the ability to correctly translate malapropisms are not a matter of following a rule at all... Perhaps it's more that our knowing the rules...
More formal sounding than my earlier understanding of the T sentence, but it seems that your view has evolved a bit. I've never seen you argue for the...
