Artiklene vil etter behov bli gjort tilgjengelige som masterkopier, men det anbefales at studentene anskaffer Dennetts The Intentional Stance, og de tre f?rste av Davidsons artikkelsamlinger nevnt over (i hvert fall de to f?rste).

KURSORISK:

S?rlig Davidsons arbeid er vanskelig og man vil ha utbytte av ? lese det sammen med en helhetlig sekund?rfremstilling. Her er noen forslag:

  • Evnine, S. (1991). Donald Davidson, Stanford, California, Stanford University Press

  • Joseph, M. (2004). Donald Davidson, Acumen

Disse er muligens vanskelige ? oppdrive. Da kan f?lgende flerforfattede bok gj?re samme nytten:

  • Ludwig, K., (ed.) (2003). Donald Davidson, Cambridge University Press.

Det mest grundige (men veldig dyre og lange) alternativet er:

  • Lepore, E. and K. Ludwig (2005). Donald Davidson: Meaning, Truth, Language, and Reality, Oxford, Clarendon Press

og en lett tilgjengelig oversiktsartikkel er:

  • Malpas, J. (2005). “Donald Davidson” i Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (online)

Hvis man ?nsker en helhetsframstilling av Dennett er en mulighet:

  • Elton, M. (2003). Daniel Dennett: Reconciling Science and Our Self-Conception, Polity Press

For v?rt kurs vil kapittel 1 til 4 v?re tilstrekkelig.
