Donald Davidson was one of the most famous and influential
philosophers of the twentieth century. The Structure of Truth presents
his 1970 Locke Lectures in print for the first time. They comprise an
invaluable historical document which illuminates how Davidson was
thinking about the theory of meaning, the role of a truth theory
therein, the ontological commitments of a truth theory, the notion of
logical form, and so on, at a pivotal moment in the development of his
thought. Unlike Davidson's previously published work, the lectures are
written so as to be presented to an audience as a fully organized and
coherent exposition of his program in the philosophy of language. Had
they been widely available in the years following 1970, the reception
of Davidson's work might have been very different. Given the
systematic nature of their presentation of Davidson's semantic
program, these lectures will be of interest to anyone working in the
philosophy of language.
