Donald Davidson was one of the 20th century’s deepest analytic thinkers. He developed a systematic picture of the human mind and its relation to the world. At its center is an idea of minded creatures as essentially rational animals. The combination of a rigorous analytic stance with aspects of humanism so distinctive of Davidsonian thought finds its, maybe, most characteristic expression when this central idea is brought to bear on the relation of the mental to the physical: Davidson defended the irreducibility of its rational nature while acknowledging that the mental is ultimately determined by the physical. Davidson made contributions of lasting importance to a wide range of topics—from general theory of meaning and content over formal semantics, the theories of truth, explanation, and action, to metaphysics and epistemology. His writings almost entirely consist of short, elegant, and often witty papers. These dense and thematically tightly interwoven works present a challenge to the reader. This book provides an introduction to all the main elements of Davidson’s philosophy. It places the theory of meaning and content at the very center of his thought. By using interpretation, and the interpreter, as key ideas it brings out the underlying structure and unified nature of Davidson’s work.
