    Davidson and Wittgenstein : A Homeric Struggle?

    No full text
    P.F. Strawson famously contrasts two approaches to the question of what it is for words to have meaning: That of communication-intention theorists and that of formal semantics theorists. According to Strawson the later Wittgenstein and Davidson end up on opposite sides in this struggle since Wittgenstein, unlike Davidson, takes conventions to be essential to meaning. Several contemporary Wittgenstein scholars agree, among them Hans-Johann Glock and Meredith Williams. They suggest that Wittgenstein puts forth an essentially social picture of language, with the shared conventions at the center, while Davidson defends an individualistic picture that ultimately fails to account for the public nature of language. I shall argue that this description is importantly mistaken: Davidson and Wittgenstein both subscribe to the idea that meaning is determined by use, rather than by conventions, and they both take meaning to be essentially public and tied to its role in communication.</p

    Gertrude M. Davidson telegram to Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 22, 1914

    No full text
    This telegram was sent on October 22, 1914, to the Woman Suffrage Headquarters in Franklin County, Ohio. Gertrude M. Davidson, a member of the Scioto County Association for women's suffrage, sent the telegram to request fliers in support of women's suffrage. Davidson said she needed the fliers by her organization's Saturday afternoon meeting. She requested the flier titled "Women in the Home," but stated that if there weren't enough of those to send the best fliers they had on hand. The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
