In Conversation: W.V. Quine - Fogelin Panel - Section 10

The Fogelin Panel

Professor Robert Fogelin is chairman of the philosophy department at Dartmouth College and specializes in the areas of epistemology, ethics and philosophy of language. He has published extensively, and his most recent books include Hume's Scepticism in the Treatise on Human Nature, Wittgenstein, and Pyrrhonian Reflections on Knowledge and Justification.

In this program, Professor Quine's epistemology is scrutinized in detail. In response, he clearly outlines his concepts of naturalized epistemology and the web of belief, and he answers the classical skeptical challenges. Next, Quine's views on the problem of induction and on the status of epistemic norms are considered. Finally, Professor Quine's naturalism is fully explored—that is, the belief that science is the only road to knowledge.

@odayk Just as this series of videos constitutes "The Block Panel", there's another film called "The Dennett Panel". I don't know whether flame0430 has it, but it hasn't yet been uploaded (far as I know).

To flame0430: Many thanks for uploading all of these wonderful videos, but please upload the Dennett one - I want to see that too!

Thanks so much for posting this and other discussions with Quine; they're such a pleasure to watch and listen to. According to the final credits Daniel Dennett is one of the people "appearing with W.V. Quine in the panel discussions." Which discussion does Dennet appear in, and have you posted the corresponding video on youtube??
