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
塞拉斯对于所与神话的批判与戴维森对于经验论的第三个教条也即‘概念图式-经验内容’二元论的形成对应。 现代哲学忧虑的根源，是两种力量的对立关系：1，最低限度的经验论：思想对经验世界的指向的思想只有按照对经验法庭的可应答性才是可以理解的，也只有按照使其本身对感知...
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，...

1.Kantian insight: empirical knowledge is impossible without the combination between the understanding and the sensibility. So taken, the conceptual capacities already operated in experience, the empirical content is conceptual rather than the Given. So experience can play justificatory role. 2. The worry that drives some to appeal to the Given is
评分在当代哲学家里算是不错的了，毕竟我们生活在哲学衰落的时代里。
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。
评分两个最大的问题：1、麦兜自己的说法是second nature只是一个reminder 一如维特根斯坦的梯子 他不愿对这个概念作substantial analysis 每当有人要求他给出一份对second nature的详细论述时他就开始打哈哈 目前情况是 谢林黑格尔式的自然哲学家不接受他的说法 皮平不接受他的说法 bold naturalist不接受他的说法 对他态度比较温和的人比如泰勒 最多也只是“大方向我同意啦但是…” 2、占了书名半壁江山的world在书里从未被主题化 对他来说 world概念是完全自明的无须作澄清… 他家康德都不会如此随意对待这个问题好吗 另外读这本书时手边要有他的mind value and reality作参照 其中许多文章是对MaW个别章节的拓展
