Article MT067 Donald Davidson The Banchory Moothie Introduction When Reg Hall produced the 20 volume Topic set of CDs The Voice of the People in 1998 his booklet notes contained copious information regarding the performers. Or, rather, most of the performers. Sadly, one or two still remained biographical blanks. Who, for example, were the Hyde Brothers, two melodeon players who recorded the jig Back o' the Haggart in New York in 1928? And what of Donald Davidson, a mouth-organ player who made a number of records, including the two pipe-marches which appear on volume 14 of the series? Again, a biographical mystery. Well, I'm quite partial to a good mystery (as my bookshelves, groaning under the collected works of Elmore Leonard, Robert B Parker, James Lee Burke, James Crumley and all those other American crime writers, can attest) and, having moved to within 3 miles of the Scottish border, I thought that somebody, somewhere, should know something about Donald and his moothy, if only I knew where to start. In fact, that somebody was Bill Dean-Myatt, a Rushall-based record researcher who is currently compiling the definitive tome on the Beltona Record label. This was the company that Donald recorded for, and, within minutes, Bill had found a Beltona flyer which said that Donald was from the town of Banchory, some miles to the west of Aberdeen. By chance, Rod and Danny Stradling had recently stayed in Banchory when they were launching their Daisy Chapman Donald Davidson Donald Davidson was born on 2nd April, 19l0, in the Deeside town of Ballater. He was the last of nine children to be born to Peter Davidson, a blacksmith, (b. 5.9.1872) and Isabella Sotherland Davidson

27. Donald Davidson And Meaning donald davidson s theory of meaning an introduction. http://www.textetc.com/theory/donald-davidson.html

TRADITIONAL MODERNIST CRITICISM THEORY ... RESOURCES DONALD DAVIDSON Overview A greatly simplified introduction to one influential theory of meaning: its approach, successes and difficulties. Provided language is seen as non- metaphorical (i.e. there is an essential skeleton of meaning regardless of how expressed), and the logical formulation is not expected to be entirely comprehensive and watertight, then Davidson's theory refutes the wilder speculations of Postmodernism There are certainly shortcomings (exceptions, qualifications, alternative formulations are the bread and butter of philosophy) but there are no grounds for asserting that language is an endless web of self-referencing signifiers. Introduction Davidson's theory of meaning begins with Alfred Tarski 's approach to logical paradoxes like All Cretans are liars. Tarski's solution was to consider the primary sentence as written in an object language, and to propose another, higher level, metalanguage that could handle object languages without being tangled up in paradoxes of self reference. Tarski's Concept of Truth Consider an example: It is true that "snow is white" iff snow is white snow is white was arrived at, the least we might expect. Agreed: but let's push on, and turn this apparent shortcoming into an asset, making the correspondence between two languages the point of interest.

IN MEMORIAM Donald Davidson Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of Philosophy Berkeley Truth and Predication He also brought to Berkeley his well-deserved prestige. Although it is no exaggeration to say that he was an eminent figure in 1981, by 2003 he was one of the world's best known and most studied contemporary philosophers. He was appointed to about 60 posts as a visiting professor or lecturer, at universities from Sydney and Tokyo to Venice and Cape Town. At least seven international conferences have been held on his work, starting in 1981. Among his many lecture series were some of Philosophy's most admired: the John Locke Lectures at the University of Oxford (1970), the John Dewey Lectures at Columbia University (1989), and the Kant Lectures at the University of Munich (1993). The Universities of Oxford (1995) and Stockholm (1999) both awarded him honorary doctorates. His work has been published in Japanese, Chinese, and 18 European languages, including Estonian and Hungarian. Another kind of recognition came in the form of a notable series of drawings, called Blind Time IV , by artist Robert Morris, reacting to passages from Davidson's writings.

29. Donald Davidson Interview Interview with donald davidson. From Giovanna Borradori s The American Philosopher Conversations With Quine, davidson, Putnam, Nozick, Danto, Rorty, http://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.

Stella Davidson, Donald's mother, and his sisters Sandra Nivasch and Janet Rourke remain active in the Foundation. 10 year-old Alan Brin received bone marrow from his sister as a last hope to cure his leukemia, which he had courageously battled for more than a year. On Father's Day in 1978, Alan succumbed to the disease. The Brin family and friends merged their activities with the Davidson chapter in 1978, forming the Donald Davidson-Alan Brin Memorial Chapter. Annual events include "Ski for Research", a men's-only ski trip in late January or early February, the elegant Raffle Dinner held in early May at the Rosewood Restaurant in Rosemont, IL, and the "Skies to Tees" golf outing in early June. Since formation in 1963, the chapter has raised a remarkable $4.5 million. site map

Donald Davidson : Truth, Meaning, and Knowledge by Urszula M. Zeglen Donald Davidson New Books: Donald Davidson Used Books: Donald Davidson Know of a Resource? Donald Davidson From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Excerpt: Donald Davidson is one of the most important philosophers of the latter half of the twentieth century. His ideas, presented in a series of essays from the 1960's onwards, have been influential across a range of areas from semantic theory through to epistemology and ethics. Davidson's work exhibits a breadth of approach, as well as a unitary and systematic character, which is unusual within twentieth century analytic philosophy. Thus, although he acknowledges an important debt to W. V. O. Quine, Davidson's thought amalgamates influences (though these are not always explicit) from a variety of sources, including Quine, C. I. Lewis, Frank Ramsey, Immanuel Kant and the later Wittgenstein.... Site Includes: Biographical Sketch Action and Mind Meaning and Truth Knowledge and Belief ... Donald Davidson Article by Vladimir Kalugin from the The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Excerpt: LIFE AND INFLUENCES. Donald Davidson, one of the most significant philosophers of the XX century, was born 6 March, 1917 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied English, Comparative Literature and Classics in his undergraduate years at Harvard. In his sophomore year at Harvard, Davidson attended two classes that made a lasting impression on him. These two classes on philosophy were taught by Alfred North Whitehead in the last year of his career. Davidson was then accepted to graduate studies in philosophy at Harvard, where his teacher was Willard Van Orman Quine. Quine set Davidson on a course in philosophy quite different from that of Whitehead. Subsequently, Davidson did his dissertation on Plato's

33. Donald Herbert Davidson A Biography of the Anthropologist Kathleen Aberle. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/information/biography/abcde/davidson_donald.html

Donald Herbert Davidson Donald Herbert Davidson was born on March 6, 1917. After spending his childhood in Springfield, Massachusetts, Donald journeyed to Harvard University Stanford University , where he spent 16 years continuing his research. His first series of publications attempted to defy the Wittgensteinian orthodoxy by considering rationality and reason to be an explanation of human actions. Davidson, in a flurry of explanations, demonstrated the connections between rationality and action, showing their connection to be both rational and at the same time casual. In 1967, Davidson moved to Princeton University , where he released the paper The Anomalism of the Mental After leaving Princeton in 1970, Davidson moved between several different Universities, working under Rockefeller (1970-1976), the University of Chicago (1976-1981), and the University of California, Berkeley (1981-2003). He released several more papers, most notably a 1994 piece that defined thought as a triangular connection between two separate yet similar rational minds, and an object or action that they are both simultaneously thinking about. Davidson went on to use this triangulation theory to prove that thought would not be possible without at least two minds capable of holding the same thought. As a result of a complication following a routine knee surgery, Davidson went into cardiac arrest and died on August 27, 2003, at the age of 86. He left behind several unfinished works. Davidson produced many publications throughout his career including (but by no means limited to):
