John McDowell on Concepts - Dictionary of Arguments
I 33f Concepts/McDowell: are used in receptivity. Concept/McDowell: something that lies beyond the reach of spontaneity of naming "a concept" and then calling the relationship "rational", is fraudulent labelling. >Spontaneity. I 59 Concept/McDowell: we must not imagine the world to be "behind the outer border of the conceptual realm". Otherwise Davidson would be right, of course, there would be nothing but purely causal effects of the world on us. But there is no such border. We can say this now without becoming idealists because of it or disregarding the independence of reality. >Myth of the given, >Reality. I 86 Concept/McDowellVsEvans: the tendency to apply a concept does not come out of the blue: When someone makes a judgment, it is wrested from him by experience. >Experience/McDowell, >Judgment/McDowell._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
