{"product_id":"donald-davidson-life-and-words","title":"Donald Davidson: Life and Words","description":"\u003cp\u003eDonald Davidson (1917-2003) was one of the most prominent philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. His thinking about language, mind, and epistemology has shaped the views of several generations of philosophers. This book brings together articles by a host of prominent philosophers to provide new interpretations of Davidson’s key ideas about meaning, language and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with short commemorative pieces by a wide range of people who knew Davidson well, giving us glimpses into the life of a great philosopher, a beloved husband and father, a colleague, teacher and friend. The chapter by Lepore and Ludwig and the ensuing heated debate with Frederick Stoutland on how to interpret Davidson demonstrate why Davidson’s legacy has become a disputed intellectual territory. The chapters by Kathrin Glüer, Peter Pagin, Barry Smith, James Higginbotham and William Child, all eminent philosophers of language, are prime examples of just one strand of this legacy, while the piece by Sophie Gibb gives us an opening to Davidson’s enormous contribution to philosophy of mind. \u003ci\u003eDonald Davidson: Life and Words\u003c\/i\u003e closes with a piece by Davidson himself, first published in 1995 in the International \u003cem\u003eJournal of Philosophical Studies\u003c\/em\u003e, where he brings together the various strands of his work in a Unified Theory of speech and action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book comprises key articles first published in the \u003cem\u003eInternational Journal of Philosophical Studies \u003c\/em\u003eand previously unpublished commemorative pieces, and serves as a fitting dedication to the work and memory of a great philosopher. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54240756760920,"sku":"9780415528801","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415528801_7dfdc60e-f8d5-4454-8eba-aac5a831bb68.jpg?v=1769256048","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/donald-davidson-life-and-words","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
