Donald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most prominent
philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. His
thinking about language, mind, and epistemology has shaped the
views of several generations of philosophers. This book brings
together articles by a host of prominent philosophers to provide
new interpretations of Davidson's key ideas about meaning, language
and thought. The book opens with short commemorative pieces by a
wide range of people who knew Davidson well, giving us glimpses
into the life of a great philosopher, a beloved husband and father,
a colleague, teacher and friend. The chapter by Lepore and Ludwig
and the ensuing heated debate with Frederick Stoutland on how to
interpret Davidson demonstrate why Davidson's legacy has become a
disputed intellectual territory. The chapters by Kathrin Gluer,
Peter Pagin, Barry Smith, James Higginbotham and William Child, all
eminent philosophers of language, are prime examples of just one
strand of this legacy, while the piece by Sophie Gibb gives us an
opening to Davidson's enormous contribution to philosophy of mind.
Donald Davidson: Life and Words closes with a piece by Davidson
himself, first published in 1995 in the International Journal of
Philosophical Studies, where he brings together the various strands
of his work in a Unified Theory of speech and action. This book
comprises key articles first published in the International Journal
of Philosophical Studies and previously unpublished commemorative
pieces, and serves as a fitting dedication to the work and memory
of a great philosopher.
