The Attack on Leviathan:
Donald Davidson and the South's Conservatism
By Russell Kirk The Heritage Foundation Lecture Number Two Hundred and Six
July 11th, 1989
Leviathan is a Hebrew word signifying "that which gathers itself in folds." In the Old Testament, Leviathan is the great sea-beast: "Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook?" In the 17th century, Thomas Hobbes-whom T.S. Eliot calls "that presumptuous little upstart"- made Leviathan the symbol of the state, or rather of mass-society, composed of innumerable little atomic individual human beings. Today I am concerned not with Hobbes, but with Donald Davidson and his book The Attack on Leviathan . In 1938, long before the administration of Lyndon Johnson popularized the slogan "The Great Society," Davidson wrote that his Leviathan is "the idea of the Great Society, organized under a single, complex, but strong and highly centralized national government, motivated ultimately by men's desire for economic welfare of a specific kind rather than their desire for personal liberty." Four decades later, Leviathan looms larger than ever. The southern states that once formed the Confederacy have been the most conservative region of America, it is generally agreed. Once upon a time, Richard Weaver told me that Middle Tennessee is the most southern part of the South. There in Middle Tennessee, near the town of Pulaski, in 1893, Donald Davidson was born. Surely Davidson was the most redoubtably conservative of those able American men of letters who have been called the Southern Agrarians. As poet, as critic, as historian, and as political thinker, Davidson was a stalwart defender of America's permanent things during an era of radical change.

Article MT095
Donald Davidson
The Banchory Moothie
Introduction
When Reg Hall produced the 20 volume Topic set of CDs The Voice of the People in 1998 his booklet notes contained copious information regarding the performers. Or, rather, most of the performers. Sadly, one or two still remained biographical blanks. Who, for example, were the Hyde Brothers, two melodeon players who recorded the jig Back o' the Haggart in New York in 1928? And what of Donald Davidson, a mouth-organ player who made a number of records, including the two pipe-marches which appear on volume 14 of the series? Again, a biographical mystery. Well, I'm quite partial to a good mystery (as my bookshelves, groaning under the collected works of Elmore Leonard, Robert B Parker, James Lee Burke, James Crumley and all those other American crime writers, can attest) and, having moved to within 3 miles of the Scottish border, I thought that somebody, somewhere, should know something about Donald and his moothy, if only I knew where to start. In fact, that somebody was Bill Dean-Myatt, a Rushall-based record researcher who is currently compiling the definitive tome on the Beltona Record label. This was the company that Donald recorded for, and, within minutes, Bill had found a Beltona flyer which said that Donald was from the town of Banchory, some miles to the west of Aberdeen. By chance, Rod and Danny Stradling had recently stayed in Banchory when they were launching their Daisy Chapman

    Where No Flag Flies
    Donald Davidson and the Southern Resistance
    Mark Royden Winchell
    Donald Davidson (1893!1968) may well be the most unjustifiably neglected figure in twentieth-century southern literature. One of the most important poets of the Fugitive movement, he also produced a substantial body of literary criticism, the libretto for an American folk opera, a widely used composition textbook, and the recently discovered novel The Big Ballad Jamboree. As a social and political activist, Davidson had significant impact on conservative thought in this century, imfluencing important scholars from Cleanth Brooks to M. E. Bradford. Despite these accomplishments, Donald Davidson has received little critical attention from either the literary or the southern scholarly community. Where No Flag Flies is Mark Royden Winchell's redress of this critical disservice. A comprehensive intellectual biography of Davidson, this seminal work offers a complete narrative of Davidson's life with all of its triumphs and losses, frustrations and fulfillments. Winchell provides the reader with more than a simple study of a man and his achievements; he paints a complete portrait of the times in which Davidson published, from the 1930s to the early 1960s. Davidson was more directly involved in political and social activities than most writers of his generation, and Winchell provides the context, both literary and historical, in which Davidson's opinions and works developed. At the same time, Winchell offers detailed evaluations of Davidson's poetry, fiction, historical writings, and essays.

    Donald Davidson
    Donald Davidson è professore presso l'Università di California, a Berkeley. La vasta produzione che investe il campo dell'epistemologia, della filosofia del linguaggio e della filosofia della mente lo qualifica come uno dei maestri del pensiero analitico contemporaneo. I saggi principali di Davidson sono raccolti nei volumi Actions and Events (1980) e Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation (1984). L'edizione italiana dei due lavori è apparsa a cura di Eva Picardi presso Il Mulino. Il pensiero di Davidson, che risente dell'influsso di Quine suo maestro, ma anche di C. I. Lewis, di Frank Ramsey, di Kant e dell'ultimo Wittgenstein, mira ad un singolo approccio integrato dei problemi della conoscenza, dell'azione, del linguaggio e della mente. Il dibattito filosofico contemporaneo, da Quine a Putnam, da Dummett a McDowell, considera Davidson un punto di riferimento essenziale. Infatti un imponente numero di studi critici sul pensiero di Davidson è riunito nelle due antologie Actions and Events: Perspectives on the Philosophy of Donald Davidson (1985) e Truth and Interpretation: Perspectives on the Philosophy of Donald Davidson (1986) edite da Ernest Lepore e in The Philosophy of Donald Davidson (1999) edito da Lewis Edwin Hahn. Al pensiero davidsoniano sono dedicati i volumi di B. Ramberg

    Interview with Donald Davidson
    From Giovanna Borradori's The American Philosopher:
    Conversations With Quine, Davidson, Putnam, Nozick, Danto, Rorty, Cavell, MacIntyre, and Kuhn

    University of Chicago Press, 1994 This excerpt begins with the end of Borradori's preamble to the interview. Thought depends on a triangular configuration of relations involving at least two interlocutors and a series of shared events. What is given to the individual is not, in the last instance, the sensory organs; rather, it is this communicative triangulation. It is not perception, but intersubjectivity and interpretation that are at the basis of knowledge. ... the communicative process, understood as the reaching of a consensus by a specific social or scientific community, has always lain at the basis of thought in the pragmatist tradition, from Charles S. Peirce to Clarence I. Lewis. For Davidson, on the contrary, the notion of consensus remains secondary, and precisely herein lies his fundamental originality in comparison with the pragmatist perspective. Intersubjectivity is the root of thought, in the sense of its transcendental condition, which therefore does not require the production of a consensus. Speaking of consensus means presupposing that ideas exist prior to the consensus, and that these ideas, when confronted with other ideas, bring about an agreement. In Davidson's mind, language, understood as the intersubjective production of meanings, comes before everything: before sharing in a vision of the world, ideas do not exist.

    Antimicrobial cationic peptides as a potential anti-pseudomonal therapy The emergence of multiple antibiotic resistant disease causing bacteria is of serious concern in the war against infectious diseases. Naturally occurring cationic peptides with broad spectrum antimicrobial activities have recently been discovered to contribute to the innate host defences of animals, insects and plants. In addition to their antimicrobial properties, various cationic peptides have been shown to exhibit anti-endotoxic properties, act as chemotactic agents, enhance macrophage phagocytosis and alter the gene expression profile of macrophages. In addition to presenting exciting new opportunities to combat infectious diseases, these peptides appear to play a critical role in the modulation of the host innate defence, the full extent of which remains to be elucidated. The naturally occurring cathelicidin peptide LL-37 has been demonstrated to provide protection against sepsis and lung infection in vivo using murine model systems and suggested as a potential therapy for use in cystic fibrosis lung disease.

    James Donald, Imagining the Modern City: a review
    Guy Davidson The modern and postmodern city would appear to be well-mapped domains in recent cultural studies, cultural geography, and social theory. For the prospective student of the city of the last one hundred and fifty years, in both its general and its particular modalities, there is now available a wealth of scholarly argument about the city's geopolitical significance, its relation to questions of identity and community, its creation of new forms of perception, and its productive role in the contemporary spatialisation of social relations. In this new book, James Donald admits occasionally to an anxiety over the potential for redundancy, but his writing is overall characterised by a justified confidence in the originality of his argument. In arguing that the modern city is always imagined, Donald means something more than the familiar claim that the city is always mediated by metaphor and symbolisation (that the city is a text). Imagination, as Donald uses the concept, also includes the sense in which inhabitants of the modern metropolis mentally act to make meaning out of their environment, the ways in which they do not simply perceive urban space on the basis of some pre-existing ideological script, but also
