摘 要: In this essay,the indeterminacy of interpretation is that when we construct belief and meaning,the significantly different theories of truth,which based on the formal and empirical restrictions,will fit the evidence equally well,and,hence,that there will be equally competitive but different theories of interpretation,theories which capture equally well the speaker’s dispositions.Some philosophers argued that,the indeterminacy of interpretation is unacceptable,for it conflicts with the obvious determinacy of self-knowledge.We will explore the problem based on Davidson’s Program,and claim that this conflict is surface but not a real one.From then on,we clarify the significance of the indeterminacy thesis of interpretation in philosophy.
