Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. 3 leaves, 282 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Reprints 15 papers. 'The Essential Davidson compiles the most celebrated papers of one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. It distills Donald Davidson's seminal contributions to our understanding of ourselves, from three decades of essays, into one thematically organized collection. A new, specially written introduction by Ernie Lepore and Kirk Ludwig, two of the world's leading authorities on his work, offers a guide through the ideas and arguments, shows how they interconnect, and reveals the systematic coherence of Davidson's worldview. Davidson's philosophical program is organized around two connected projects. The first is that of understanding the nature of human agency. The second is that of understanding the nature and function of language, and its relation to the world. Accordingly, the first part of the book presents Davidson's penetrating investigations of reasons, causes, and intentions, which revolutionized the philosophy of mind and action. He demonstrates that explanation of action is not only a matter of causal explanation of the movements of our bodies, but also involves justification, by showing the action to have been done for reasons. This leads to his notable doctrine of anomalous monism, the view that all mental events are physical events, but that there are no laws governing their connections, and so the mental cannot be reduced to the physical. The second part of the book presents the famous essays in which Davidson set out his highly original and influential philosophy of language, which founds the theory of meaning on the theory of truth. The connections between meaning, truth, and understanding are illuminated by his pioneering notions of radical interpretation and triangulation. He explores the role of first-person authority in human knowledge, and the role of indirect discourse and metaphor in human language. These fifteen classic essays will be invaluable for anyone interested in the study of mind and language. Fascinating though they are individually, it is only when drawn together that they have their full power, for there emerges a compelling picture of man as a rational linguistic animal whose thoughts, though not reducible to the material, are part of the fabric of the world, and whose knowledge of his own mind, the minds of others, and the world around him is as fundamental to his nature as the power of thought and speech itself' (Oxford University Press Web site).
