I talked to him a little bit Saturday morning ("Can I ask you something about your talk?" "Hey, it's your funeral") and he allowed that he might have been a little dogmatic with the lottery-ticket stuff in the Q&A. It didn't seem as if the objectors were really getting their points across—not not across to him, but not articulating whatever points they might have half-had.Ben Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887096661154495898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042142443470259188.post-58950014720885095452009-12-23T01:29:53.954-06:002009-12-23T01:29:53.954-06:00Ah, I can see how you read me that way. That's...Ah, I can see how you read me that way. That's not how I meant it: I still think there probably *is* something important in Thompson's work; I just don't know what it's supposed to be. I need to spend more time with it at some point.<br /><br />His enthusiasm for Philipa Foot does worry me, though. As does the rigid designation passage in part three. I'm pretty sure that Thompson means for "Life and Action" to have something to do with ethics, and that I want to jump ship before that point. But there seems to be some promising stuff in the prolegomena to that.<br /><br />He was definitely very impressive at the conference, though. Very quick on his feet. Terrific Q&A session.Daniel Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05443116324301716578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042142443470259188.post-74180920654360369292009-12-23T01:06:41.521-06:002009-12-23T01:06:41.521-06:00You mean that Thompson is a genius as a speaker?

You see, the cat was excited because he was being told he could have a cheeseburger. Which is funny because cats do not even eat cheeseburgers normally, but the cat in question is obese!1<br /><br />The Collins book is on my list of books/papers to read. (And there is an actual list now; I decided I needed to get on top of what I was reading. So far I've mostly just eliminated a bunch of articles from it.)<br /><br />The spinoza stuff got long enough to be a post.

(I'm not up on these thingz.) In any case, woo hoo! <br /><br />Now, you don't exactly owe a paper, but maybe now you might check out that Arthur Collins book on Kant ...<br /><br />And that Spinoza class sounds awesome. Nadler is the man. Maybe you could post the Davidson/Spinoza stuff. My sense is the comparison is much richer than just saying, gee, they're both kind of saying "there's just one kind of stuff with different aspects." But I wonder what you said, and if Nadler said anything interesting back.Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11349267352262603510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042142443470259188.post-71620297927090650762009-12-18T09:30:50.914-06:002009-12-18T09:30:50.914-06:00Well done.
