[MD] DMB and Me

[david buchanan]

Matt said to dmb:
I also take it that one could only gloss Rorty as needing to "nod to the reality of objective things" if one has previously feretted out evidence that Rorty is using an SOM framework and not, on the contrary, rejecting it ... .

dmb says:

Well, I have been presenting that "evidence". Recently with the Fish article, McDowell a week or so ago and I looked and found I could uncover the same SOM thing going on with Davidson too. You've seen Putnam and Hildebrand make the charge too. 
But, like a religious person, you just find some excuse to dismiss the message. Or the messenger. 


Matt said:
...I haven't been able to really read and concentrate on Dave's writings in the requisite, demanded fashion in some time, because his writings look to me like somebody getting off on the wrong foot and falling down a long mountain.


dmb says:

Right. How much time have you spent explaining how you don't have time to explain anything? And may I remind you what it is you don't have time to explain? Your views. The reasons for dismissing Pirsig's central term. That's what you can't be bothered to do here at MOQ.org.

And yet it's me who's off on the wrong foot? 

Outrageous.
