Professor Donald Davidson is one of the most innovative and
influential recent philosophers. Ranging over a variety of topics
in the philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and epistemology,
his system of thought is unified by his inquiries into the nature
of interpretation and understanding the speech and behavior of
others. Together with its introduction, Language, Mind and
Epistemology examines Davidson's unified stance towards philosophy
by joining American and European authors within a collection of
essays, published here for the first time. The authors discuss the
central topics in Davidson's latest philosophy: his holistic
truth-theoretic stance towards meaning and understanding, the
epistemology of interpretation and translation, the externalist
viewpoint in epistemology, the anti-Cartesian approach in
accounting for first person authority, the thesis of anomalous
monism, and the holistic conception of the mental.
