This brief book takes readers to the very heart of what it is that philosophy can do well. Completed shortly before Donald Davidson's death at 86, "Truth and Predication" brings full circle a journey moving from the insights of Plato and Aristotle to the problems of contemporary philosophy. In particular, Davidson, countering many of his contemporaries, argues that the concept of truth is not ambiguous, and that we need an effective theory of truth in order to live well.
