Modern philosophy finds it difficult to give a satisfactory picture of the place of minds in the world. In "Mind and World", based on the 1991 John Locke Lectures, John McDowell offers his diagnosis of this difficulty and points to a cure. He illustrates a major problem of modern philosophy - the insidious persistence of dualism - in his discussion of empirical thought. Much as we would like to conceive empirical thought as rationally grounded in experience, pitfalls await anyone who tries to articulate this position, and McDowell exposes these traps by exploiting the work of contemporary philosophers from Wilfrid Sellars to Donald Davidson. These difficulties, he contends, reflect an understandable - but surmountable - failure to see how we might integrate what Sellars calls "the logical space of reasons" into the natural world. What underlies this impasse is a conception of nature that has certain attractions for the modern age, a conception that McDowell proposes to put aside, thus circumventing these philosophical difficulties. By returning to a pre-modern conception of nature but retaining the intellectual advance of modernity that has mistakenly been viewed as dislodging it, he makes room for a fully satisfying conception of experience as a rational openness to independent reality. This approach also overcomes other obstacles that impede a generally satisfying understanding of how we are placed in the world.

读后感
麦克道威尔通过将世界构想为由可思物（the thinkable）所构成来消除心灵与世界的间隙。既然世界（先验地）由可思物构成，那么当我们真切地（truly）思考时，心灵内容——作为真的可思物（true thinkables）——便同一于事实。如其知识论析取主义所说，真知与幻觉的差别，就在于...

评分此书翻译硬伤比比皆是，拗口、别扭处更是连篇累牍，完全是次品，但居然出版了！我敢说，译者根本没看懂此书。建议以后出个规定：译者读完原著十遍才能翻译，免得总是暴殄天物！
评分这个系列演讲，出发点是对the myth of given也即“原初经验材料有没有概念结构”这个问题的处理。 在历史上,Davidson对此的回答是：（1）经验材料无概念内容（2）在知识辩护（justification）上诉诸信念之间的融贯论，不承认经验材料的辩护地位。（3）经验材料对信念的支持，...

三章车轱辘话之后措不及防搬出Gadamer...上网课胖胖的椅子没塌
评分还是难度很大，有些论证细节搞不懂。改天写个读书笔记。
评分好强大
评分所予部分的论证有启发；试图通过亚氏“第二自然”的概念来调和“理性”与“自然”的二分，但这一点并未被有效论证，如何从一个伦理学的概念出发，涵盖一般而言的概念范围；conceptual capacity和 ethical 或是practical wisdom 之间的区分，并不详细。伦理规范，教化，是否能够作为所谓人作为理性动物的概念形成的一般例子，值得商榷。
评分看完了正文，Afterword只看了几页。
