Review
In this monumental work, Ernest Lepore and Kirk Ludwig have done for Davidson what he did not do for himself. For those interested in a synoptic account of Davidsons deep but elusive philosophical project, this book is cause for celebration. . . . From now on, anyone working on Davidson is obligated to learn the lessons of this important book (Peter Hanks, International Quarterly of Philosophy)
Ernie Lepore and Kirk Ludwig have done the philosophical community a great service by beginning the project of providing an accessible account of Davidson's work, along with an informed and sympathetic critical analysis. . . . A review cannot do justice to the rich, intricate, and valuable analysis presented in this book. One of its main strengths is the introduction of nicely crafted distinctions used in clear and helpful reconstructions of Davidson's arguments. It is easy to find one's way around in this work, as there are clear guideposts to what will be covered in each chapter, and excellent summaries at the end of both chapters and sections. . . . Though complex and subtle, this book will be accessible to undergraduate philosophy majors with a taste for hard work. . . . this is also a must read for any Davidson scholar. . . . the complexity, cleverness, creativity, and intellectual stamina of Davidson's work shines out in this book (James W. Garson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews)
They offer a straight-ahead, analytic Davidson and their rendition is, I think, pitch perfect. Not only do they get Davidson right in general terms, but on every disputed point of exegesis, their careful reconstructions of Davidson's views are exactly right. This is, therefore, a very impressive, and a very useful achievement. (Simon Evnine, Mind)
Lepore and Ludwig have provided a magnificently impressive critical detailed account of Donald Davidsons contributions to the philosophy of logic, language, and mind. (Gilbert Harman, Princeton University)
