"Donald Davidson presents a new edition of the 1984 volume which set out his philosophy of language. Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation has been a central point of reference and a focus of controversy in the subject ever since, and its influence has extended into linguistic theory, philosophy of mind, and epistemology. The central question which these essays address is what it is for words to mean what they do. This new edition features an additional essay, previously uncollected." Readership: All philosophers, linguists, and psychologists interested in philosophy; anyone else interested in language and mind.
