According to many commentators, Davidson's earlier work on
philosophy of action and truth-theoretic semantics is the basis for
his reputation, and his later forays into broader metaphysical and
epistemological issues, and eventually into what became known as
the triangulation argument, are much less successful. This book by
two of his former students aims to change that perception. In Part
One, Verheggen begins by providing an explanation and defense of
the triangulation argument, then explores its implications for
questions concerning semantic normativity and reductionism, the
social character of language and thought, and skepticism about the
external world. In Part Two, Myers considers what the argument can
tell us about reasons for action, and whether it can overcome
skeptical worries based on claims about the nature of motivation,
the sources of normativity and the demands of morality. The book
reveals Davidson's later writings to be full of innovative and
important ideas that deserve much more attention than they are
currently receiving.
