Hi Matt,

> The trouble is that Rorty has to admit that for philosophers, inquiry into Truth has helped them produce more true statements—for example, Davidson’s claim that “most of our beliefs are true.”  This, as Rorty admits, is interesting and could not have been done without the context of logical positivism and their unacknowledged Platonic goals.


Steve:
I remember reading Rorty reference Davidson's claim that most of our
beliefs must be true, but what is the reasoning behind it?


Best,
Steve
