His contributions to the philosophy of language, the philosophy of action, ontology and metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, and epistemology continue to have enormous influence today. Yet despite a wide range of publications about or influenced by Davidson’s work, none – until now – presents a comprehensive overview of his work across its full thematic and temporal range.A Companion to Donald Davidson provides a much-needed in-depth exposition and analysis of the full range of Davidson’s contributions to philosophy through newly commissioned essays by leading figures in contemporary philosophy.
