Bibliography Of Donald Davidson. Edited By Lewis Edwin Hahn. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. This volume in the series celebrates the philosophy of American Donald Davidson, whose process covers different types of philosophy. Admired for developing a system based on his theory of mind and language, he considers two of his most central interests to be the concepts of truth and objectivity. Davidson, professor emeritus at U.C. Berkeley, is admired for his provocative and influential theories of mind and language. By the time I was born, on March 6, 1917, in Springfield, Massachusetts, my parents were married.
