Now in a new edition, this volume updates Davidson's exceptional Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation (1984), which set out his enormously influential philosophy of language. The original volume remains a central point of reference, and a focus of controversy, with its impact extending into linguistic theory, philosophy of mind, and epistemology. Addressing a central question--what it is for words to mean what they do--and featuring a previously uncollected, additional essay, this work will appeal to a wide audience of philosophers, linguists, and psychologists.

Extremely heavy reading. I did it months ago when i was deep into pragmatics and even i, being an extremely patient person, had to digest it slowly. Meaning depends on context, speaker intentions and social interaction.
Pragmatics shapes the philosophy of language
