“Problems of Rationality is the eagerly awaited fourth volume of Donald Davidson’s philosophical writings.  From the 1960s until his dead in August 2003 Davidson was perhaps the most influential figure in English-language philosophy, and his work has had a profound effect upon the discipline.  His unified theory of the interpretation of thought, meaning and the action holds that rationality is a necessary condition for both mind and interpretation.  Davidson here develops this theory  to illuminate value judgments and how we understand them; to investigate what the conditions are for attributing mental states to an object or creature; and to grapple with the problems presented by thoughts and actions which seemed to be irrational.  Anyone working on knowledge, mind and language will find these essays essential reading.” (from the cover)
