American philosopher who collaborated with Jerry Fodor on critiques of meaning holism and with Donald Davidson on semantic theory.
Meaning holism: co-argued with Fodor that holism about meaning (the meaning of a word depends on all its inferential connections) is incompatible with a workable semantic theory. Holism: A Shopper's Guide (with Fodor): the definitive critique of meaning holism.
