Abstract

Cet article vise à montrer le concept d’interprétation radicale développé pour Donald Davidson. Ce concept identifie la relation entre la pensée, le langage et le monde, où seule la communication peut fournir le concept, et le dialogue est le contexte réel de toute objectivité. Pour Davidson, il n’y a pas de signification sans interprétation et sans compréhension. Nous arrivons vraiment à interpréter quand nous reconnaissons dans l’autre nos propres normes de consistance logique, quand nous reconnaissons l’autre comme rationnel et cohérent.
