On the origins of the idea of a conceptual scheme
On the origins of the idea of a conceptual scheme

Summary/Abstract: In 1974 Donald Davidson published On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme, an article in which he tried to draw attention to the unintelligibility of such an idea and to the dangerous consequences of its acceptance. However, despite the influence of his criticism at the time, Davidson was never clear enough about his target. The purpose of this article is to outline a possible response to what the American philosopher has in mind when criticising the idea of a conceptual scheme.
