Contents:

Introduction / Kirk Ludwig -- Truth and meaning / Ernest Lepore and Kirk Ludwig -- Philosophy of action / Alfred R. Mele -- Radical interpretation / Piers Rawling -- Philosophy of mind and psychology / Jaegwon Kim -- Semantics and metaphysics of events / Paul Pietroski -- Knowledge of self, others, and world / Ernest Sosa -- Language and literature / Samuel C. Wheeler III.

Summary: 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 40 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 is the only 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.
