This research will discuss important aspects of Donald Davidson´s Philosophy. He was one of the most influent philosophers of analytic tradition in the second half of twenty century. For this, we focus on two key concepts of his writings: Radical Interpretation and Principle of Charity. Through these concepts, Davidson defends the possibility to talk about objectivity. Since the communication between people occurs, so a considerable part that we share is common. The first person looses his ontological and epistemological priviledge and is seen as a topic in relation with world and other people, because man is inserted in a social and natural world, interacting with that. His writings offer a coherent image of mind, language and human rationality, adding a rigorous argumentation with an alive dialogue.
