Biography
Robert H. Myers is Professor of Philosophy at York University, Canada.
Claudine Verheggen is Associate Professor of Philosophy at York University, Canada.
"This book is an excellent piece of work, which shows that Davidson's thinking on interpretation can illuminate a number of issues in contemporary epistemology and ethics. I am less sure that Davidson's approach can give us the basis of a genuine moral realism and a genuine epistemological anti-skepticism. But the greatness of a philosopher lies in the fact that even when one disagrees with him, his thought can still be a starting point for further inquiries. Claudine Verheggen and Robert Myers perform this task remarkably." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
