Summary
Donald Davidson was a famous and influential philosopher of the 20th century. This title presents his 1970 Locke Lectures, and comprise an invaluable historical document which shows how he was thinking about the theory of meaning, the role of a truth theory therein, the ontological commitments of a truth theory, the notion of logical form, and so on, at a pivotal moment in the development of his thought. Unlike Davidson's previously published work, the lectures are written so as to be presented to an audience as a fully organised and coherent exposition of his program in the philosophy of language. Had they been widely available in the years following 1970, the reception of his work might have been very different. Given the systematic nature of their presentation of Davidson's semantic program, these lectures will be of interest to anyone working in the philosophy of language.
