Lectures on a Philosophy Less Ordinary
Original language description
This book offers a comprehensive reinterpretation of J. L. Austin’s phi-losophy. It opens new ways of thinking about ethics and other contemporary issues in the wake of Austin’s philosophical work.Austin is viewed primarily as a philosopher of language whose work focused on the pragmatic aspects of speech. His work on ordinary lan-guage philosophy and speech act theory is seen as his main contribu-tion to philosophy. This book challenges this received view to show that Austin used his most well-known theoretical notions as heuristic tools aimed at debunking the fact/value dichotomy. Additionally, it demon-strates that Austin’s continual returns to the ordinary are rooted in a desire to show that our lives in language are complicated and multifac-eted. What emerges is an attempt to think with Austin about problems that are central to philosophy today—such as the question about linguis-tic inheritance, truth, the relationship between a language inherited and morality, and how we are to cope with linguistic elasticity and historicity.Lectures on a Philosophy Less Ordinary will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on Austin’s philosophy, philosophy of lan-guage, and the history of analytic philosophy.WOS: 000844244900008
