Late Wisconsin Spring
Perplexity and Plausibility
As part of an exchange of views on what Jan Zwicky calls "lyric philosophy," this contribution suggests a way of understanding it that brings out affinities between it and the standard discursive model of philosophy with which she is dissatisfied. Good discursive philosophy is based on perplexity and plausibility: on finding that protophilosophical experiences give rise to philosophical puzzlement, and then finding that some ways of responding to…

An Interview with John Ashbery
John Koethe: When you first started writing poetry, or when you were writing in the fifties, there seemed to be a very different poetry scene than there is nowsomething you could call an academic establishment, with which you didn't ally yourself. Could you describe the way you saw poetry then and the way the poetry world strikes you now, since it seems to be somewhat different? John Ashbery: Actually, I did identify a lot with much of the poetry…
Meaning and the Moral Sciences
Putnam's Argument Against Realism
IN Realism and Reason' Hilary Putnam attempts to show that certain picture the relation of any correct theory to all or part of is incoherent. According to this picture, which he dubs metaphysical realism, there is a determinate relation of reference between terms in [any language L] and pieces (or sets of pieces) of WORLD, 2 in terms of which truth for L is to be defined. Moreover, THE WORLD is supposed to be independent of any particular repres…
Paradoxes of Knowledge
Ignorance
In this controversial volume (originally published in 1975) Peter Unger suggests that, not only can nothing ever be known, but no one can ever have a reason at all for anything. A consequence of this is that we cannot have any realistic emotional ties: it can never be conclusively said that someone is happy or sad about anything. Finally he argues that no one can ever say, let alone believe, that anything is the case. In order to get beyond this …
