The Concept of “Meaning” in Davidson’s Work

Summary/Abstract: The concept of "meaning" is extremely important in the philosophy of language in the 20th and 21st centuries. The purpose of this paper is to describe the theoretical basis and the uses of this concept in the post-analitic tradition and more specifically in the texts of Donald Davidson and Richard Rorty. Selected works of both philosophers and several short articles on the issue are analyzed in the process. Davidson's attitude towards the role of "meaning" has gone through some metamorphosis over the years, so I opt to present the theoretical framework of tjis earlier stage, which is closely linked to ideas of Tarski and Quine, and his relatively late stage where the idea of triangulation arises. At the end of the article, I describe Rorty's attitude towards the problem of the terms "meaning" and "truth". The inclusion of Rorty permits us to highlight the position of Davidson on the topic and clearly showes the problems of theoretical thinking in the field of philosophy of language.
