About the Book

Twenty-seven critical essays, an introduction to Davidson's philosophy of language, and three essays by Davidson himself make up this volume. The volume's five sections correspond to the major sections of Davidson's "Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation" addressing, interpreting and further developing his views. The first section focuses on truth and meaning, the second on applications of Davidson's semantic theory, the third on radical interpretation, the fourth on language and reality and the fifth on limits of the literal.
