OverviewEva 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 Featuring an introduction by Annalisa Coliva and new translations of previously unpublished papers, this collection emphasizes the significance of Picardi's work for a new generation of readers.

The essays argue for an enriched conception of the relation between analytic and Continental approaches to philosophical methodology, and show how intensively Picardi entered into dialogues with the giants of late analytic philosophy. * Sami Pihlstroem, Professor of Philosophy of Religion, University of Helsinki, Finland * Eva Picardi was a unique figure in contemporary Italian philosophy. Her work on promoting analytic philosophy in Italy was groundbreaking, but equally significant was her original contribution to key debates in 20th century philosophy. This welcome collection brings together some of Picardi's most important articles and creates the opportunity, sadly posthumously, for the body of her work to achieve the wider recognition it has always deserved. * Maria Baghramian, Professor of American Philosophy, University College Dublin, Ireland * Author InformationEva Picardi (1948-2017) was an Italian analytic philosopher and Professor of Philosophy of Language at the University of Bologna, Italy. Annalisa Coliva is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at University of California, Irvine, USA. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
