It will need no elu cidation that this standard argument can be effective only against the prag matist after some epistemological conception of truth has been accepted 1 already. And precisely this is what the pragmatist strategy so much urges us , to avoid. And this brings me to Rorty's second answer to the question in what way language is a useful instrument for coping with reality. As we all know, we should never be satisfied with what instruments are like at a certain mo ment but should always try to improve them for their tasks.
I shall demonstrate this with a brief discussion of Davidson's variant of radical translation and of his influential attack on conceptual schemes. When dealing with D avidson's theory of radical translation, it should be pointed out, to begin with, that Davidson speaks about radical interpre tation rather than of radical trans'4ltion. This puts ·a different complexion on the issue. As D avidson writes, in the case of radical translation we need three languages: (1) the object language (that is, the language to be trans lated), (2) the subject language (into which the object language is to be translated), and (3) a meta-language (of the theory stating what expressions in the subject language translate those in the object language).
That level wi ll always be be yond its scope.
