Truth, Language, and History

More about the book

Focusing on the intricate relationships between language, thought, and reality, this final volume of Donald Davidson's philosophical writings presents a collection of essays that delve into his lifelong inquiries. He examines the interplay of speaker intention, linguistic meaning, and the concept of truth, questioning how a scientific worldview can accommodate human thought without reducing it to mere materialism. With a new introduction by his widow, Marcia Cavell, this work encapsulates Davidson's profound intellectual contributions.
