This introduction to Davidson’s 1970 Locke Lectures begins by describing their historical background, paying particular attention to the factors that made the philosophical community at Oxford at the time when they were delivered particularly receptive to the ideas in them. It then provides a brief summary of the contents of each of the lectures and gestures at how they depart from previously published works, both those that appeared before 1970 and those that would appear later. Special attention is paid to passages that either have never appeared before in print or appear in the lectures in a novel form. |
