书名: Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation (Philosophical Essays of Donald Davidson)
作者: Donald Davidson (Author)
出版社: Oxford University Press, USA; 2 edition (November 22, 2001)
语言: English

ISBN-13: 978-0199246298
Book Description
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.
Review
"Davidson, aside from being one of the most influential philosophers of the last century, shares with many of his generation a capacity to write intelligibly." -- The Philosophers' Magazine
"A classic in its field." -- P. F. Strawson
