See and hear this 1997 conversation between philosophical fellow travelers Richard Rorty and Donald Davidson, posted by Gundlegung, which ends:
Davidson: “Well, it sounds to me that by your standards I am a straight-forward pragmatist.”
Rorty: “Even in the romantic sense?”
Davidson: “Even in the romantic sense.”
Rorty: “That’s nice.”
One gets the dramatic sense that these two souls are still in tension from their ethos, even though they repeatedly come to agreements in principle. There is a bodily sense in which the comfort of ideas tugs each in opposite directions. Rorty seems to work with the breadth of thinking, and Davidson with the micro-structures. Agreement seems to be what they have agreed upon.
