(American analytic philosopher, 1917–2003). Author of Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation and Truth, Language, and History: Philosophical Essays. Davidson was one of the most important analytic philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. He made novel and seminal contributions to the philosophy of language; central here is his rejection of the idea that linguistic understanding is in any way a function of language understood as a set of rules and conventions.
