The Davidsonian Program

The Davidsonian Program, named after philosopher Donald Davidson, explores how language and meaning relate to the mind and the world. It aims to understand how we can interpret mental states and intentions through linguistic expression, emphasizing that meaning arises from the way languages and thoughts are systematically connected. The program combines philosophy, logic, and linguistics to clarify how sentences convey mental content, and how we can accurately interpret and understand one another's minds based on language. It seeks a precise, unified account of meaning, cognition, and communication within a rigorous philosophical framework.
