Episode 191: Conceptual Schemes: Donald Davidson & Rudolf Carnap (Part One)
The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast - A podcast by Mark Linsenmayer, Wes Alwan, Seth Paskin, Dylan Casey
Categories:
On Davidson's "On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme" (1974) and Carnap's "Empiricism, Semantics and Ontology" (1950). What does it mean to say that we grasp the world through a conceptual scheme? Are schemes different between cultures or even individuals, such that we can't really understand each other? Davidson thinks that this doesn't make sense. Please support PEL!
