Abstract
In this chapter, for the sake of understanding the explanatory-role dimension of the philosophical concern with truth and of making the case for the account of the explanatory role of the concept of truth in SPT, I carry out a case analysis of Donald Davidson’s approach in regard to the explanatory-role project of the philosophical concern with truth. For this purpose, the goal of this chapter is limited to the explanatory role played by the concept of truth in philosophical inquiries, instead of a comprehensive examination of the more general topic on the role of the truth norm in general knowledge pursuit and in our folk life.
