He died suddenly, as a consequence of cardiac arrest following knee surgery, on Aug. 27, 2003, in Berkeley, California. Remaining both physically and philosophically active up until his death, Davidson left behind behind a number of important and unfinished projects including a major book on the nature of predication. While his first position was at Queen's College in New York, Davidson spent much of the early part of his career (1951-1967) at Stanford University. He subsequently held positions at Princeton (1967-1970), Rockefeller (1970-1976), and the University of Chicago (1976-1981). From 1981 until his death he worked at the University of California, Berkeley. Davidson was the recipient of a number of award and fellowships and was a visitor at many universities around the world.

Related Entries Biographical Sketch Born 6 March, 1917, Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, Donald Herbert Davidson completed his undergraduate study at Harvard, graduating in 1939. His doctoral studies were interrupted by service with the US Navy in the Mediterranean from 1942-45. He graduated from Harvard in 1949 with a doctoral dissertation on Plato's `Philebus'. His first academic position was at Queen's College in New York and he has since held positions at Stanford, Princeton, and Rockefeller Universities, as well as at the University of Chicago and, since 1981, at the University of California at Berkeley. Action and Mind One of Davidson's earliest published papers is `Actions, Reasons and Causes' (1963). There Davidson argues, against the reigning Wittgensteinian orthodoxy of the time, that rational and causal explanation are compatible, and that only if reasons are the causes of the actions they rationalise can they be said to explain those actions. Crucial to Davidson's account of action explanation are the ideas of a `primary reason' - a belief-desire pair in the light of which an action is explained - and of action `under a description' (a phrase originally appearing in G. E. M. Anscombe's Intention [1959]). The latter idea provides a means by which the same item of behaviour can be understood as intentional under some decriptions but not under others.

Related Entries Biographical Sketch Born on March 6th, 1917, in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, Donald Herbert Davidson completed his undergraduate study at Harvard, graduating in 1939. His early interests were in literature and classics and, as an undergraduate, Davidson was strongly influenced by A. N. Whitehead. After starting graduate work in classical philosophy (completing a Master's degree in 1941), Davidson's studies were interrupted by service with the US Navy in the Mediterranean from 1942-45. He continued work in classical philosophy after the war, graduating from Harvard in 1949 with a dissertation on Plato's `Philebus'. By this time, however, the direction of Davidson's thinking had already, under Quine's influence, changed quite dramatically (the two having first met at Harvard in 1939-40) and he had begun to move away from the largely literary and historical concerns that had preoccupied him as an undergraduate towards a more strongly analytical approach. While his first position was at Queen's College in New York, Davidson spent much of the early part of his career (1951-1967) at Stanford University. He has subsequently held positions at Princeton (1967-1970), Rockefeller (1970-1976), and the University of Chicago (1976-1981). Since 1981 he has taught at the University of California, Berkeley. Davidson has also been the recipient of a number of awards and fellowships and, in 1970, was the John Locke Lecturer at the University of Oxford.

Related Entries Biographical Sketch Action and Mind Reasons as Causes The Anomalism of the Mental Problems of Irrationality Ontology and Logical Form Reasons as Causes Decision-Making: An Experimental Approach belief that flipping the switch turns on the light in combination with my having the desire to turn on the light (for most explanations explicit reference to both the belief and the desire is unnecessary). An action is thus rendered intelligible through being embedded in a broader system of attitudes attributable to the agent through being embedded, that is, in a broader framework of rationality Intention [1959]). As with the concept of a primary reason the idea here is simple enough: one and the same action is always amenable to more than one correct description. This idea is especially important, however, as it provides a means by which the same item of behaviour can be understood as intentional under some descriptions but not under others. Thus my action of flipping the light switch can be redescribed as the act of turning on the light (under which it is intentional) and also as the act of alerting the prowler who, unbeknown to me, is lurking in the bushes outside (under which it is unintentional). Generalising this point we can say that the same event can be referred to under quite disparate descriptions: the event of alerting the prowler is the same event as my flipping the light switch which is the same event as my moving of my body (or a part of my body) in a certain way.

Donald Davidson Davidson (1979) provides an analysis of metaphor that reaches much the same conclusions as Searle, namely: (i) that metaphoricity is defined relative to a strong notion of literality; (ii) that literality is somehow an inherent property of words and not of concepts and world models; and (iii) that the meaning of metaphoric utterance must be comprehended both in terms of what it literally means (Searle's LSM), and the meaning that it causes the hearer to infer (Searle's SUM). Davidson's main contribution, however, over and above Searle, harks back to the writing of the later- Wittgenstein, in which he claims that "I depend on the distinction between what words mean and what they are used to do. I think metaphor belongs exclusively to the domain of use." [Davidson, 1979] Referring back to Searle, then, the LSM (Literal Sentence Meaning) belongs to the domain of meaning, while the SUM (Sentence Utterance Meaning) belongs to the domain of use. As an extension to Searle, however, Davidson offers a caution to the reader regarding the nature of SUM, claiming that the SUM is not actually carried by the metaphor (as a secondary meaning), rather it is created by the hearer in response to the metaphor: "Metaphors mean what the words, in their most literal interpretation, mean, and nothing more. [...] The central mistake [...] is the idea that a metaphor has, in addition to its literal sense or meaning, another sense or meaning."

Donald Davidson was inspired to create the wildflower watercolors used in this website while serving as a National Park Service Volunteer-in-the-Park/Botanical Illustrator in the Great Plains and Southwest/Intermountain Regions throughout the spring wildflower blooms of 1999 through 2004. All of the art reflects his direct approach of working right on the trail, without collecting specimens or using photography. He has been selected to serve in March 2004 as the first Artist-in-Residence at the Mojave National Preserve. With encouragement from park staff to help present new interpretive programs and build bridges with local communities, Davidson also organized and directs the Chihuahuan Desert Native Plant Initiative : A series of creative, hands-on, interdisciplinary field workshops open to public participation throughout April at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Make room in your travel calendar for this exciting event! All of the above efforts have been made possible through generous support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, John Kitteridge Educational Fund, the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and National Endowment for the Arts, the Carlsbad Caverns/Guadalupe Mountains Association, Southwest Parks and Monuments Association, and the Native Plant Societies of New Mexico and Utah, as well as, the Carlsbad Museum (Carlsbad, NM), The Puffin Foundation and The Carlsbad Foundation.

Donald Davidson (b. 1917) Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) Life and Influences Anomalism of the Mental Causal Explanation of Action Life and Influences Donald Davidson, one of the most significant philosophers of the XX century, was born 6 March, 1917 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied English, Comparative Literature and Classics in his undergraduate years at Harvard. In his sophomore year at Harvard, Davidson attended two classes that made a lasting impression on him. These two classes on philosophy were taught by Alfred North Whitehead in the last year of his career. Davidson was then accepted to graduate studies in philosophy at Harvard, where his teacher was Willard Van Orman Quine. Quine set Davidson on a course in philosophy quite different from that of Whitehead. Subsequently, Davidson did his dissertation on Plato's Philebus According to Davidson, "The central thesis that emerged was that when Plato had reworked the theory of ideas as a consequence of the explorations and criticisms of the Parmenides, Sophist, Theaetetus
