Generally, philosophy has "succeeded" in generating and methodologically normalizing many, if not most, of the natural and social sciences. More particularly also, for every several or so analytical philosophers like Davidson whose works have "failed", or are negligible, there's at least one Russell or Haack, Goodman or Popper, Rawls or Dennett ... who's work significantly informs other disciplines and occasionally political-economic thought. So what's your point, Jersey?Where has philosophy then succeeded? — JerseyFlight

I assure you that Davidson is not claiming that truth does not exist. That's not what you were saying, is it? — Banno
