Intérprete omnisciente, caridad y externalismo

The omniscient interpreter argument laid by Donald Davidson is discussed, in relation to two other aspects of the davidsonian philosophy: the principle of charity and the externalist conception of meaning. It’s attempted to show that the argument has worked rather as a result of the davidsonian characterization of the radical interpretation, than as a building factor of that one, in so far as, either presupposes the davidsonian interpretation methodology based on the principle of charity, whose problems tried to solve, or presupposes the externalist conception of meaning, what it takes away its utility.
