This review is from: The Philosophy of Donald Davidson (Library of Living Philosophers) (Paperback)
Davidson is one of the most important and influential philosophers around. This is an exciting anthology. It has articles (and D's responses to them) by McDowell, Stroud, Higginbotham, Rorty, and other notable philosophers. The strongest material here is probably that which encounters Davidson's work in the phil. of mind and action (akrasia, rationality, etc). For me, Stroud's (on radical interpretation) and McDowell's (on the scheme/content dualism) respective articles here are the most intriguing. But I must say, Davidson's biographical material is also a fun and interesting read.Notable articles: Quine, "Where Do We Disagree"; McDowell, "Scheme Content Dualism and Empiricism"; Stroud, "Radical Interpretation and Philosophical Skepticism"; Tom Nagel, "Davidson's New Cogito"; Burge, "Comprehension and Interpretation"; Rorty, "D's Mental-Physical Distinction"; B. Vermazen, "Establishing Token-Token Psychophysical Identities." I also recommend: Brandom, Rorty and His Critics; Smith, Reading McDowell; as well as the Davidson corpus. I highly recommend this volume.
