Mind , Davidson and Reality

چکیده
The aim of this article is to show that the prospects for intentional irrealism are much brighter than it is generally thought. In the first section, I provide a general characterization of some of the various forms that the realism/irrealism debates might take. In the second, I ask whether there is any defensible form of realism about intentional states. I show that most candidates are nearly trivially false, and that the only form of intentional realism which is not, is a restricted one which is prima facie no more plausible than the corresponding form of irrealism. In the third and last section, I defend my interpretation of what intentional irrealism amounts to against some possible misunderstandings, give some reasons why it should be taken seriously and argue that it could plausibly be attributed to Davidson. Zòt kwè nou se woman men lè w byen gade se blag nou ye, pa plis. (Some people believe that we are narratives, but seen from a different perspective, we’re nothing but jokes.)

متن کاملStephen Neale ON REPRESENTING

Such representations can be accurate or inaccurate: those that are accurate are said to be true, to correspond to the facts, to mirror reality (nature, the world). Donald Davidson finds such talk unfortunate: it is thoroughly intertwined with talk of facts, coun...
