This book is an introduction to and interpretation of the philosophy of language devised by Donald Davidson over the past 25 years. The guiding intuition is that Davidson's work is best understood as an ongoing attempt to purge semantics of theoretical reifications. Seen in this light the recent attack on the notion of language itself emerges as a natural development of his Quinian scepticism towards "meanings" and his rejections of reference-based semantic theories.

Extractions: Awhile back when I was arguing with the defenders of analytic philosophy it was suggested to me that I might like Donald Davidson if I read him apparently one of the things I said sounded like something Davidson might say. So just now I went to the library and checked out Essays on Actions and Events (second ed., 2001). Its an understatement to say that I didnt like the book. I am strongly interested in three of the themes in this book: the ontology of events, the concept of action, and the distinction between causes and reasons. However, I found Davidsons treatment useless at best, and appalling at worst. The enforcement of work rules by the philosophers union is apparently very strict, because nothing Davidson writes about agency, events, or reasons ever even mentions any actual, non-hypothetical action, event, or reason (which are all presumably controlled by the psychologists union and historians union). Based on my understanding of the other sciences, while the development of purely formal concepts is often part of the work, the test of these concepts ultimately comes when they are applied to some kind of actuality, and often enough the new concepts were developed in the first place partly in response to a concrete problem. But apparently philosophy is a science of an entirely different sort. As far as I can tell, analytic philosophy hopes to defer the contact with actuality indefinitely. The motive is apparently not to come up with a better way of talking about acts and events, but rather to insist that all valid discussion of acts and events must be in some way congruent with the language of the physical sciences which do not talk about acts and events. The role of the analytic philosopher is thus rather like that of the Vatican censor in charge of making sure that all writing is consistent with church doctrine. The nice censors try to find loopholes in Catholic doctrine in order to make it possible for writers to write a bit more freely and more realistically, whereas the mean censors are very strict. But for all of them, consistency with Church doctrine is required.

http://press.umsystem.edu/spring2000/winchell.htm

Extractions: Donald Davidson (1893-1968) may well be the most unjustifiably neglected figure in twentieth-century southern literature. One of the most important poets of the Fugitive movement, he also produced a substantial body of literary criticism, the libretto for an American folk opera, a widely used composition textbook, and the recently discovered novel The Big Ballad Jamboree. As a social and political activist, Davidson had significant impact on conservative thought in this century, imfluencing important scholars from Cleanth Brooks to M. E. Bradford. Despite these accomplishments, Donald Davidson has received little critical attention from either the literary or the southern scholarly community. Where No Flag Flies is Mark Royden Winchell's redress of this critical disservice. A comprehensive intellectual biography of Davidson, this seminal work offers a complete narrative of Davidson's life with all of its triumphs and losses, frustrations and fulfillments. Winchell provides the reader with more than a simple study of a man and his achievements; he paints a complete portrait of the times in which Davidson published, from the 1930s to the early 1960s. Davidson was more directly involved in political and social activities than most writers of his generation, and Winchell provides the context, both literary and historical, in which Davidson's opinions and works developed. At the same time, Winchell offers detailed evaluations of Davidson's poetry, fiction, historical writings, and essays.

http://www.opencourtbooks.com/books_n/donald_davidson.htm

Extractions: Library of Living Philosophers, Volume XXVII Edited by Lewis E. Hahn The latest volume of the critically acclaimed Library of Living Philosophers series is devoted to the work of analytic philosopher Donald Davidson. Following the standard LLP format, Davidson discusses his life and philosophical development in an intellectual autobiography. This is followed by 31 critical essays by distinguished scholars; Davidson replies to each of these essays. Although Donald Davidson is considered an analytic philosopher, his thought straddles many areas of philosophy. One of his greatest contributions is the development of a philosophical system based on his theory of mind and language, but he has also worked on theory of action, philosophy of language, decision theory, psychology, epistemology, ethics, the concept of truth, and the concept of objectivity. Davidson is a former Carus Lecturer who has held more than twenty distinguished lectureships and research fellowships at universities in this country and abroad, including Queens College, Stanford, Princeton, and the University of Peru. He is currently professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley.

Extractions: Austin Peay University at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky I. Biography Donald Davidson is a poet whose creative, artistic, descriptive style gives his poems a unique characteristic that catches the reader's attention and interest. Davidson was born in 1893, in Campbellsville, Tennessee. The most profound influence in his early life was his father, who provided the young son instruction in the classical languages and who read a great deal to his children in the evenings. This way Davidson became impressed with literature. Also his father taught him the pleasures of native music. Davidson's mother also influenced him. She was responsible for instilling in Davidson a deep appreciation for classical music. Being a music teacher by profession, his mother taught him to play the piano. Throughout his life, he became interested in understanding music from the composing point of view and later on he composed one original operetta. Another source of influence in Davidson's life at home was his father's vast library filled with many classical authors. Various Tennessean narratives about Indian and pioneer times caught the young boy's interest, as well as plays of Shakespeare or poems by Poe. His father cautioned him against reading so much of the popular sentimental or European literature and did not believe that children should enter school very young. Since the young Davidson was a little wonder when he entered school he was placed right in the fifth grade. Later on, while in school his father was also among his teachers.

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctytho/AnMon.htm

Extractions: (1) THE ARGUMENT FOR ANOMALOUS MONISM Donald Davidson's Anomalous Monism, his engrossing Identity Theory of the mind, emerges from reflection on what seems to be a contradiction. The seeming contradiction is a matter of three claims, the first of which is that there are causal connections between physical and mental events. The second is The Principle of the Nomological Character of Causality. Wherever there are causal connections between events, the events are connected by law. The third claim is that there are no psychophysical lawlike connections. We escape the seeming contradiction and get to Anomalous Monism by way of a certain understanding of the second claim. When E and E are cause and effect, it does not follow that they are in lawlike connection as E and E or under the descriptions 'E ' and The two events may be so connected but need not be. If a mental event causes a physical event, they can therefore be in lawlike connection under other descriptions. Given the third claim, that there are no psychophysical lawlike connections, any such mental event must be in lawlike connection under some other description. It must be so as a
