Subjective, Intersubjective, Objective

In this work Davidson explores various issues surrounding knowledge and epistemology. This work is progressive beginning with essays that deal with knowledge of one's self, moving to knowledge of other people, and then moving to knowledge of an external world. Through his triangulation thesis, Davidson shuts the doors on various types of epistemic skepticism, specifically, knowledge of one's own mental states, knowledge of other minds, and knowledge of the external world. While Davidson is by no means an easy author to read, his arguments are insightful, and his contributions to modern analytic philosophy are undeniable. I would recommend this book to anyone studying modern epistemology.

Oxford is in the process of re-issuing these Davidson anthologies. The anthologies on truth and action do not have much new material. This anthology has some excellent previously published articles on self-knowledge/epistemology and rationality, which has become necessary reading on these respective topics. Also, look out for new stuff in Vol. 4 and 5 in this series.I also recommend Stroud's work on Davidson, which can be found in both of his recent collections (Oxford UP).
