Book Description
Abstract: I argue that the best way to understand Donald Davidson's notion of triangulation is as an account of the concept of objectivity. In particular, triangulation is the framework that makes possible the simultaneous emergence of the interrelated concepts of objectivity, belief, truth, and error, as well as determinate mental content and linguistic normativity. I argue that this framework consists of the shared similarity standards and shared similarity responses of two creatures converging on a common object and the responses of one another.
