Written by a distinguished roster 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. Donald Davidson has been
one of the most influential figures in modern analytic philosophy
and has made significant contributions to a wide range of subjects.
Embodied in a series of landmark essays stretching over nearly 40
years, his principal work exhibits a unity rare among philosophers
contributing on so many diverse fronts. Kirk Ludwig, the recipient
of two grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, has
taught at the University of Florida's Department of Philosophy
since 1995. His areas of research specialization include philosophy
of language, epistemology, and philosophy of mind. He has
contributed chapters to a number of volumes on these topics as well
as published articles in Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophy and
Phenomenological Research, Mind and Language, and elsewhere.
