- Summary:
- This is a concise, systematic introduction to all the main elements of the philosophy of Donald Davidson, one of the 20th century's deepest analytic thinkers. It places the theory of meaning and content at the very centre of his thought.

The author carefully outlines his principal claims and arguments, and discusses them in some detail.
