Summary

Donald Davidson: Investigations into Truth and Interpretation

Davidson's systematic treatment of language completely breaks with the idea of language as something that can be adequate or inadequate to the world or the public - all we have available to authorize our statements are other statements. In this collection of eighteen essays, the author investigates "what it means for words to mean exactly what they mean," and constructs a theory that satisfies two conditions: it provides an interpretation of all statements, actual and potential, of a single speaker or a group of speakers, and it can be verified without detailed knowledge of the speaker's propositional attitudes. The first five essays are mainly concerned with the question of what kind of theory would fulfill the first condition and are united under the common title of the first chapter, "Truth and Meaning." The sixth, seventh and eighth essays are the content of the chapter entitled "Applications". The third part of the book deals with the question of whether a speaker's theory of truth can be verified without assuming too much about what he is trying to describe. The next four essays are the philosophical results of the approach to truth and interpretation, and the last chapter examines the limits of the literal in the essays "What Metaphors Mean" and "Communication and Convention". *
