Synopsis

Donald Davidson has been one of the most influential figures in modern analytic philosophy and has made seminal contributions in a wide range of subjects: philosophy of language, philosophy of action, philosophy of mind, epistemology, metaphysics and the theory of rationality. His principal work, embodied in a series of landmark essays stretching over nearly forty years, exhibits a unity rare among philosophers contributing on so many diverse fronts. Written by a distinguished team of philosophers, this volume includes chapters on truth and meaning, the philosophy of action, radical interpretation, philosophical psychology, knowledge of the external world, other minds and our own minds, and the implications of Davidson's work for literary theory. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the full range of Davidson's work, and as such it will be of particular value to advanced undergraduates, graduates and professionals in philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and literary theory.

Revue de presse

'... the essays provide a good introduction to selected topics in Davidson's philosophy. The chapters present his arguments in an accessible fashion and place them in philosophical and historical context, often providing a concise introduction to the particular sub-field in the process. They not only point out developments in Davidson's approach, but difficulties, as well. Most of the essays go beyond the reconstruction of Davidson's specific views to develop the author's own position with reference to the contemporary debate. One of the strengths of the volume is that it places Davidson's views in the context of on-going philosophical debates and supplies references for in depth study. ... the volume represents a valuable and systematic contribution to contemporary scholarship on Davidson's philosophy.'
