Nelson Goodman Interview (1989) - Induction, Worldmaking, Symbols, & Art

In this interview, Nelson Goodman begins by discussing induction and his famous contribution to the problem of induction, then his non-realist notion of 'worldmaking' which replaces the traditional view of truth as a correspondence to an objective world. Next he discusses his understanding of symbols and some of the general consequences, especially for art and aesthetics, including the replacement of traditional notions like that of truth, certainty, and knowledge. This interview was given in Rome in 1989. It is a version of an upload from the previous channel. More details will be added at a later date.

One of my favs from your old channel! Thx for the reupload. Love Goodman's reasoning (and Elgin's too, by the way). "Ways of Worldmaking" is one of the best books I've ever read.

Great stuff PO...you're brilliant

[@divertissementmonas]

Yeah, guilty pleasure listening to this interview. I really like Mr Goodman's thinking and I must be suffering from 'confirmation bias' LOL... It was the late Charles Harrison that got me interested in art as he wrote some course material I studied. I went on to read his books to in Art and Language and the Conceptual Art movement in general and have not lost interest yet!

This is an important VLOG. It helps us to understand the deficiencies which existed in the 1st part of Wittgenstein's treatises, which focused on promoting the pictorial theory of language and philosophy.
