The Philosophy of Donald Davidson

(Volume XXVII, 1999)

Donald Davidson, Emeritus from U.C. Berkeley, is well noted both for the breadth of his interests and the originality of his thought. While generally classed as one of the best of the analytical tradition, the topics Davidson has investigated have ranged substantially beyond those topics typically classed as "analytic."
