Abstract (en)

The aim of this paper is to show the central issues of Davidson's radical interpretation theory by making use of it in a concrete example in order to see how the interpretation proposal responds to the task it was designed for. In doing this, I’ll try to show radical interpretation as an independent theory and not just as a response to other theories of meaning, as it is usually seen.

Keywords (en): Radical interpretation, theory of meaning, truth value.

Abstract (es)

El objetivo de este texto es presentar los aspectos centrales de la teoría de la interpretación radical de Davidson, haciendo uso de ella en un ejemplo concreto a fin de ver cómo esta propuesta interpretativa responde a la tarea para la cual ha sido formulada. Intentaré mostrar a la interpretación radical como una teoría independiente, y no solo como una respuesta a otras teorías del significado, como usualmente se la presenta.

Keywords (es): Interpretación radical, teoría del significado, valor de verdad.
