Donald Davidson on Knowledge & Perception - The Martin Discussion

Donald Davidson discusses his views on epistemology and perception with Michael Martin. Among other things, he discusses the traditional definition of knowledge as justified true belief, coherentism about truth and knowledge, John McDowell's criticism, the notion of qualia, his rejection of any epistemic intermediary between the world and our beliefs about it, how he can account for perceptual illusions and hallucinations, and his own externalist account of perceptual beliefs and how they are justified.
This is from Philosophy International 1997. It is also a re-upload from the previous channel. The audio has been slightly improved as well.

Thanks for this. Donald Davidson is amazing.

"Nothing counts as a reason for believing something, except another belief" is this the same as saying that there are no uninterpreted givens of consciousness?

Yes

M. G. F. Martin is so ridiculously underrated. His direct realism is just as overpowered as Timothy McGrew's infallibilist account of acquaintance knowledge and referential account of non-inferential justification.

okay, so somewhat a tangent if anyone is interested.. I think therefore I am.. so I'm going to write down this little bip to represent this moment, 1, and having thought and noted, again I will, 1, and so on; so this is a stretch, and I can't attest to the legitimacy of my memories of writing each bip, but it's as good as I've got. aside some equally dubious number theory developing out on this :D
