Eva Picardi has been one of the most influential Italian analytic
philosophers of her generation. She taught for forty years at the
University of Bologna, raising three generations of students. This
collection of selected writings honors her work, confirming Picardi's
status as one of the most important Frege scholars of her generation
and a leading authority on the philosophy of Donald Davidson. Bringing
together Picardi's contributions to the history of analytic
philosophy, it includes her papers on major 20th-century figures such
as Wittgenstein, Quine, Davidson, Rorty, and Brandom. She examines
their work in comparison with the philosopher Michael Dummett's,
illuminating contrasts between American Neo-pragmatism and Continental
philosophy. By considering key contributions made by Gadamer and
Adorno and contrasting them with Davidson and Rorty's proposals,
Picardi is able to bridge the Analytic and Continental divide.
Featuring an introduction by Annalisa Coliva and new translations of
previously unpublished papers, this collection emphasizes the
significance of Picardi's work for a new generation of readers.
