Reflecting on Davidson 1. “Empathy and charity” (2000) 2. “Davidson on assertion, convention and belief” (1999) 3. “First person authority and radical interpretation” (1993) 4. Donald Davidson “Reply to Eva Picardi” (1993) 5. “The truth in interpretation. Some remarks on Gadamer and Davidson” (2004) Part II. Reflecting on Rorty 6. “Rorty, Sorge and truth” (2001) 7. “Is the critical method still open?” (1999) 8. “Pragmatism as anti-representationalism” (2011) Part III. Norms and naturalized semantics 9. “Is language a natural object?” (1997) 10.“Varieties of naturalism” (1997) 11.“Semantics naturalized?” (1998) Part IV. On the semantic/pragmatic divide 12.“Compositionality” (2001) 13.“Colouring, multiple propositions and assertoric content” (2006) 14.“On sense, tone, and accompanying thoughts” (2006) 15. Michael Dummett “Reply to Eva Picardi” (2006) 16. “Wittgenstein and Frege on proper names and the context principle “ (2010) Index

Philosophers working on theories of meaning and normativity, as well as naturalism and pragmatism in the philosophy of language and beyond, will find this an invaluable collection of important contributions by a leading yet somewhat neglected Italian philosopher. The essays argue for an enriched conception of the relation between analytic and Continental approaches to philosophical methodology, and show how intensively Picardi entered into dialogues with the giants of late analytic philosophy.
