Brian Leiter reports the very sad news that Donald Davidson has died. As Chris Bertram noted the last few years have seen a horrible number of philosophical greats die. (Chris mentions that Lewis, Nozick, Rawls and Williams died within the last two years, and Quine died just over 2 years ago.)

Both Chris and Brian are collecting tributes and obituaries at their sites as they come in, so check back there for links to those tributes.
