Modern philosophy finds it difficult to give a satisfactory picture of the place of minds in the world. In "Mind and World", based on the 1991 John Locke Lectures, John McDowell offers his diagnosis of this difficulty and points to a cure. He illustrates a major problem of modern philosophy - the insidious persistence of dualism - in his discussion of empirical thought. Much as we would like to conceive empirical thought as rationally grounded in experience, pitfalls await anyone who tries to articulate this position, and McDowell exposes these traps by exploiting the work of contemporary philosophers from Wilfrid Sellars to Donald Davidson. These difficulties, he contends, reflect an understandable - but surmountable - failure to see how we might integrate what Sellars calls "the logical space of reasons" into the natural world. What underlies this impasse is a conception of nature that has certain attractions for the modern age, a conception that McDowell proposes to put aside, thus circumventing these philosophical difficulties. By returning to a pre-modern conception of nature but retaining the intellectual advance of modernity that has mistakenly been viewed as dislodging it, he makes room for a fully satisfying conception of experience as a rational openness to independent reality. This approach also overcomes other obstacles that impede a generally satisfying understanding of how we are placed in the world.

塞拉斯對於所與神話的批判與戴維森對於經驗論的第三個教條也即‘概念圖式-經驗內容’二元論的形成對應。 現代哲學憂慮的根源,是兩種力量的對立關係:1,最低限度的經驗論:思想對經驗世界的指嚮的思想隻有按照對經驗法庭的可應答性纔是可以理解的,也隻有按照使其本身對感知...
評分麥剋道威爾通過將世界構想為由可思物(the thinkable)所構成來消除心靈與世界的間隙。既然世界(先驗地)由可思物構成,那麼當我們真切地(truly)思考時,心靈內容——作為真的可思物(true thinkables)——便同一於事實。如其知識論析取主義所說,真知與幻覺的差彆,就在於...
評分此書翻譯硬傷比比皆是,拗口、彆扭處更是連篇纍牘,完全是次品,但居然齣版瞭!我敢說,譯者根本沒看懂此書。建議以後齣個規定:譯者讀完原著十遍纔能翻譯,免得總是暴殄天物!

有很深的洞見,試圖去彌閤心靈和世界之間的gap,希望將世界直接納入我們的心靈之中。值得細讀。
評分好強大
評分哲學必讀?
評分兩個最大的問題:1、麥兜自己的說法是second nature隻是一個reminder 一如維特根斯坦的梯子 他不願對這個概念作substantial analysis 每當有人要求他給齣一份對second nature的詳細論述時他就開始打哈哈 目前情況是 謝林黑格爾式的自然哲學傢不接受他的說法 皮平不接受他的說法 bold naturalist不接受他的說法 對他態度比較溫和的人比如泰勒 最多也隻是“大方嚮我同意啦但是…” 2、占瞭書名半壁江山的world在書裏從未被主題化 對他來說 world概念是完全自明的無須作澄清… 他傢康德都不會如此隨意對待這個問題好嗎 另外讀這本書時手邊要有他的mind value and reality作參照 其中許多文章是對MaW個彆章節的拓展
評分所予部分的論證有啓發;試圖通過亞氏“第二自然”的概念來調和“理性”與“自然”的二分,但這一點並未被有效論證,如何從一個倫理學的概念齣發,涵蓋一般而言的概念範圍;conceptual capacity和 ethical 或是practical wisdom 之間的區分,並不詳細。倫理規範,教化,是否能夠作為所謂人作為理性動物的概念形成的一般例子,值得商榷。
