Resumo: In this paper,1 I discuss Davidson’s ideas about the relationship between mind and language. First, I consider his arguments for the claim that there cannot be thought without language, and I examine the assumptions the arguments presuppose. In the second place, I consider the idea of “thought” Davidson adopts, and its essentially normative and holistic character. Third, I try to show the adequacy of this conception of thought in order to deal with epistemological problems, and the inadequacy of this notion in solving the problem of the “emergence” of thought. Finally, I sketch an alternative account of such an “emergence,” looking for continuities between pre-linguistic and linguistic thoughts.

Neste artigo, discuto as idéias de Davidson sobre a relação entre mente e linguagem. Primeiro, considero seus argumentos em favor da alegação de que não pode haver pensamento sem linguagem, e examino os pressupostos desse argumento. Em segundo lugar, considero a idéia de “pensamento” que Davidson adota, e seu caráter essencialmente normativo e holístico. Terceiro, tento mostrar a adequação dessa concepção do pensamento para lidar com problemas epistemológicos, e a inadequação dessa noção para resolver o problema da “emergência” do pensamento. Finalmente esboço uma explicação alternativa para tal “emergência,” buscando continuidades entre pensamentos pré-lingüísticos e lingüísticos.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1463310.5007/%xPrincipia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 9 No. 1-2 (2005); 177-191Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 9 Núm. 1-2 (2005); 177-191Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 9 n. 1-2 (2005); 177-1911808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
