Richard Rorty on Radical Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 449 Radical Interpretation/RI/Davidson/Rorty: RI is the only way to set up oneself outside of the language game. >Language game. Question: how does the external observer use the word true? - Problem. despite Quine’s task of distinguishing between synthetic/analytical the distinction between physical objects and stimuli is useless. >Stimuli/Quine, >Object/Quine, >Analyticity/syntheticity. Problem: one needs to know something about the beliefs of the natives before knowing anything about their meanings. Rorty: with that he is set to coherence. >Coherence Theory. Horwich I 454 RI/conceptual scheme/Davidson/Rorty: examining ourselves with RI makes correspondence relation, intended beliefs, etc. unnecessary. >Conceptual scheme. - - - Rorty VI 33 RI/proposition/Davidson/Rorty: after a while: step from non-propositions (one does not know the speaker’s meaning, but registers agreement and disagreement) to >propositions. VI 38 Justification/principle of charity/belief/behavior/truth/Davidson/Rorty: the need to justify our beliefs to ourselves produces a pattern of behavior - we have to perceive this in others in order to attribute beliefs to them - truth is not necessary as an additional standard for this. >Justification, >Principle of Charity._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
