Abstract

Davidson’s account of thought relies on three main ideas: thought is conceptual, holistic and objective. Davidson’s claim that languageless creatures are thoughtless poses a problem to account for thought acquisition. This paper defends the view that it is possible to develop a Davidsonian model to deal with this problem. First I identify the main elements that constrain such a model. Then I show how two alternative models, innatist and non-conceptualist, do not trivially meet those constraints. Finally, I suggest that some current empirical theories of thought acquisition are located within the space delimited by Davidson’s constraints.
