This text discusses the philosophical views of Donald Davidson, an
influential 20th-century philosopher. Since the 1960s Davidson's
views have provoked and inspired and his intellectual dynamism has
revolutionized the philosophy of mind, epistemology, philosophy of
language and semantics. He is not only known for his rigorous and
often controversial thinking but also by his willingness to engage
in dialogue and re-evaluate his ideas and paradigms. The present
collection is testimony to his spirit of openness and contains
essays by academics on the major themes of Davidson's philosophy,
complete with individual responses by the philosopher himself. The
essays address the main ideas of Davidson's theory of language and
epistemology with their implications in ontology and philosophy of
mind. The book begins with polemical essays on the central problem
of truth, one of the most controversial philosophical issues. The
core of the controversy can be formulated in the question: is truth
the goal of enquiry?;This query has recently been raised by Richard
Rorty to whom Davidson has penned a personal reply. In the second
part of the anthology, contributors discuss Davidson's semantic
program
