Donald Davidson This page intentionally left blank Donald Davidson Donald Davidson has been one of the most influential figures in modern analytic philosophy. He has made seminal contributions to a wide range of subjects: phi- losophy of language, philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, epistemology, metaphysics, and the theory of rationality. His principal work, embodied in a series of landmark essays stretching over nearly forty years, exhibits a unity rare among philosophers contributing to so many different topics. These essays – elegant, compact, sometimes cryptic, and difficult – together form a mosaic that presents a systematic account of the nature of human thought, action and speech, and their relation to the natural world, which is one of the most subtle and impressive systems to emerge in analytic philosophy in the last fifty years. Written by a distinguished roster of philosophers, this volume includes chapters on truth and meaning; the philosophy of action; radical interpretation; philosophical psychology; the semantics and metaphysics of events; knowledge of the external world, other minds, and our own minds; and the implications of Davidson’s work for literary theory. This is the only comprehensive introduction to the full range of Davidson’s work, and, as such, it will be of particular value to advanced undergraduates, graduates, and professionals in philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and literary theory. Kirk Ludwig is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Florida. Contemporary Philosophy in Focus Contemporary Philosophy in Focus offers a series of introductory volumes to many of the dominant philosophical thinkers of the current age. Each volume consists of newly commissioned essays that cover all the major contributions of a preeminent philosopher in a systematic and accessible manner. Comparable in scope and rationale to the highly successful series Cambridge Companions to Philosophy, the volumes do not presuppose that readers are already inti- mately familiar with the details of each philosopher’s work. They thus combine exposition and critical analysis in a manner that will appeal both to students of philosophy and to professionals and students across the humanities and social sciences.

  • Leonard Bernstein
    chapter one Young American Bernstein at Harvard In 1982, at the age of sixty-four, Leonard Bernstein included in his col- lection of his writings, Findings, some essays from his younger days that prefi gured signifi cant elements of his later adult life and career. The fi rst, “Father’s Books,” written in 1935 when he was seventeen, is about his father and the Talmud. Throughout his life, Bernstein was ever mind- ful that he was a Jew; he composed music on Jewish themes and in later years referred to himself as a “rabbi,” a teacher with a penchant to pass on scholarly learning, wisdom, and lore to orchestral musicians.1 Moreover, Bernstein came to adopt an Old Testament prophetic voice for much of his music, including his fi rst symphony, Jeremiah, and his third, Kaddish. The second essay, “The Occult,” an assignment for a freshman composi- tion class at Harvard that he wrote in 1938 when he was twenty years old, was about meeting Dimitri Mitropoulos, who inspired him to take up conducting. The third, his senior thesis of April 1939, was a virtual man- ifesto calling for an organic, vernacular, rhythmically based, distinctly American music, a music that he later championed from the podium and realized in his compositions for the Broadway stage and operatic and concert halls.2 8 Copyrighted Material Seldes 1st pages.indd 8 9/15/2008 2:48:29 PM Young American / 9 EARLY YEARS: PROPHETIC VOICE Bernstein as an Old Testament prophet? Bernstein’s father, Sam, was born in 1892 in an ultraorthodox Jewish shtetl in Russia.

  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

  • V Mediterranean Congress of Aesthetics Abstracs/Resúmenes/Résumes
    V MEDITERRANEAN CONGRESS OF AESTHETICS ABSTRACS/RESÚMENES/RÉSUMES Alkholy, Inas: “Is the Reception of Emotional Expression in Visual Art Global?” Pictures don’t live in isolation from a context of comprehension and response. According to Gretchen Barbatsis, the notion that meaning is something added to a piece of art has important connotation in the way we conceptualize art. The dynamic understanding of visual interpretation is a mutual process, in which the artwork and the viewer add something to one another. Art conveys meanings, reflects moods, motivates both feelings and actions, and engages the viewer into a vivid dialogue with the artwork. Artists through the ages have been expressing deep feelings and sufferings. The expressiveness of figurative art moves the viewer, not only to admire the artist, but to feel the expressed emotions themselves. Can we call a picture-viewer engagement global? Local cultures are expanding and changing rapidly and affected by globalization; however there are different understandings of this term in different localities. Many eastern and western examples in the history of art show similar visual emotional expressions. Although the reception of emotional expression in visual art depends on local cultures and individual factors, a pre-read art-related text results in a similar eastern and western reception of the same visual expression. Whether it is an interpretation, criticism or art history, a pre-read text is valuable before seeing the artwork. It configures the viewer’s rational and psychological involvements with artwork itself and affects the way he/she receives it. Regardless of the viewer’s cultural, political, religious backgrounds he/she is involved in a meaning-making process.

  • The Aesthetics of Smell and Taste for the Appreciation of Landscape
    JTLAᴥ Jounal of the Faculty of Letters, The University of Tokyo, Aestheticsᴦ, Vol.36ᴥ 2011ᴦ 27 The Aesthetics of Smell and Taste for the Appreciation of Landscape Kiyokazu NISHIMURA 1. The Discovery of Landscape Feeling In the aesthetic appreciation of nature, the objects are individual natural things contrasted with man-made objects, which include all kinds such as roses or mountains, each particular thing such as the moon, mount Fuji, my dog Taro or her cat Mike, and each natural event such as sunrise, rainbow, rain and storm. But a ‘landscape’ means a place that includes many different natural things and events, where a rainbow appears at the ridge of a mountain and a wind, whispering through the plain, brings a subtle fragrance of Àowers. It is therefore an environment which we can look at, standing within it, as a whole. It is doubtful that people have appreciated landscapes aesthetically in all ages and places. The original Old High German word ‘landscap’ meant a common region of a historical, political, and economic unity for its inhabitants, and was a geographical term. Before Petrarch went up Mont Ventoux on the 26th April, 1336, and wrote a letter: “At ¿rst I stood there almost benumbed, overwhelmed by a gale such as I had never felt before and by the unusually open and wide view,”1 Western medieval people, as Kenneth Clark says, were not interested in mountains. What enchanted them was ‘paradise’̶the Persian for ‘a walled enclosure’ against dark forests and dangerous mountains̶, that is ‘the Hortus Conclususᴥ the closed gardenᴦ’ in which Àowers of various colors are in full bloom, vines and fruit trees grow thick, and sheep are bred.
