You'd think his granddaughter would have better grammar.

@JCM69 You do know this is YouTube, right?

[macchineagricole]

thanks

[dantean]

This settles everything. Everything!

[fischborn]

Could someone write the speech? I cannot listen in English very well. Thanks.

[Agentzero141970]

@fischborn A: Well you can say that, but the question is what is the point of saying it?

B: ah, eh... the point of saying is that it makes some people happy (laughs)

Is Dummett smokin' a cigarette on a cigarette holder?! Classic.

[Tarockspieler]

I like Dummett. He's like the Charles Darwin of tarot cards!

[tamlac00]

lol, they laugh like its an inside joke.

[minx20xx]

i always find my grandpa very funny at christmas! and im lucky 2 have been brought into such a wonderful family and he is such a fabulous person.x (from his granddaughter nicola dummett from london)xx

[rootberg]

You are lucky to have one of the greatest modern philosophers as a grandpa too :D Do you know what he thinks of people like Dawkins and Dennett?

[rumpranger65]

@rootberg Probably doesn't like them, considering the fact that Dummett is a committed theist.

Hi Joyrexus,

Any posting of the Davidson interviews or the Quine/Strawson panel would be most welcome. And that most probably goes for a whole bunch of other YT users too.

[Kaaru]

I am the soul of the late, great Donald Davidson and I command you to post more of my stuff on YouTube!

[joyrexus]

Note: this is a clip from the Davidson/Dummett interview available as part of the Philosophy International Video Series (Just do a search for Dummett, Davidson, "Philosophy International" for more information.) There's a Quine series available as well.

[randyhelzerman]

Thanks! Funny story--I actually tried to find a library close to where I live which had the Quine series, and I found one. But when I got to the library, they had just gotten rid of it because nobody had check any of them out in 7 years....grrrr....

[CPLains]

@joyrexus not strictly available is it? besides, would be even more funny if you uploaded the whole interview! ;D

[randyhelzerman]

Dude! I gotta know how you came by this video.
