The 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.
closes with a piece by Davidson himself, first published in 1995 in the International
, where he brings together the various strands of his work in a Unified Theory of speech and action.
This book comprises key articles first published in the
and previously unpublished commemorative pieces, and serves as a fitting dedication to the work and memory of a great philosopher.
