Inquiries Into Truth and Interpretation

Now in a new edition this volume updates Davidson''s exceptional Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation (1984) which set out his enormously influential philosophy of language. The original volume remains a central point of reference and a focus of controversy with its impact extending into linguistic theory philosophy of mind and epistemology. Addressing a central question--what it is for words to mean what they do--and featuring a previously uncollected additional essay this work will appeal to a wide audience of philosophers linguists and psychologists.
