Description
Quine Versus Davidson: Truth, Reference, and Meaning
A penetrating investigation into the philosophy of language by Gary Kemp, comparing the work of two great figures in late twentieth-century philosophy. Quine and Davidson are often regarded as having similar views on language and meaning, but their fundamental disagreements reveal deeper differences.
Kemp argues that Quine's methodological naturalism is incompatible with Davidson's approach to truth and reference, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of these concepts in order to provide a consistent account of language and meaning.
