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.

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!
評分這個係列演講,齣發點是對the myth of given也即“原初經驗材料有沒有概念結構”這個問題的處理。 在曆史上,Davidson對此的迴答是:(1)經驗材料無概念內容(2)在知識辯護(justification)上訴諸信念之間的融貫論,不承認經驗材料的辯護地位。(3)經驗材料對信念的支持,...

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...

圖書標籤: 心靈哲學 哲學 分析哲學 McDowell Mcdowell philosophy Analytic 心理學
老師推薦我這本書的時候,說這本書很難,現在我信瞭。伽達默爾和馬剋思是鬧哪樣。後半段有心靈雞湯的感覺。康德好評。前半本纔是哲學的正經事!
評分德國觀念論終於在100年後藉(麥兜的)維特根斯坦之手重迴分析哲學。
評分看完瞭正文,Afterword隻看瞭幾頁。
評分以後一定得找個機會再讀一遍。
評分哲學必讀?
