Abstract
- The article discusses the attempt of Donald Davidson that explains knowledge of meaning in terms of truth conditions. The author argues that Davidson's two main rationales presented in his works were unsuccessful. He resumes that the task of doing the details of the story has a constructive part, where propositions are used as theoretical constructs and subject those theories to empirical test, and a foundational part where propositions are being explained.
