Themes from this larger programme permeate and bind his work on semantics: on the notions of meaning and truth, on theories of truth, reference, logical form and inference, compositionality, 'intentional' operators, indeterminacy, conceptual relativism, skepticism and metaphor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwenty-eight critical essays, including a substantial introduction to Davidson's philosophy of language, and three essays by Davidson himself, make up this volume.

The first section, written by the editor, gives an overview of the whole volume, the second section focuses on truth and meaning; the third, applications of Davidson's semantic theory; the fourth, radical interpretation; the fifth, language and reality, and the sixth, limits of the literal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003eDONALD DAVIDSON ix \u003cp\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003eERNEST LEPORE xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Truth in Meaning \u003cbr\u003eERNEST LEPORE 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart Il Truth and Meaning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Linguistic Theory and Davidson's Program in Semantics\u003cbr\u003eJAMES HIGGINBOTHAM 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Learnability of Semantic Theory \u003cbr\u003eROBERT J.
