Paradox and discovery: Iris Murdoch, John Wisdom, and the practice of linguistic philosophy

Original language description

&quot;This article argues that Iris Murdoch, who was supervised by John Wisdom during her 1947-48 fellowship at Newnham College Cambridge, went on to practice philosophy in a recognizably Wisdomian manner in her earliest paper, &quot;&quot;Thinking and Language&quot;&quot; (1951). To do so, I first describe how Wisdom understood philosophical perplexity and paradox. One task that linguistic philosophers should take up is to investigate the concrete cases that give paradoxical philosophical statements their sense and to sift the truth they contain from the distortion. I then show how this vision informed his critical reception of Gilbert Ryle&apos;s The Concept of Mind as well as his own investigation of the Hidden Stream Paradox. Finally, I trace a similar approach to Murdoch&apos;s discussions of a paradox I call the Coarse Net Paradox. Recognizing Murdoch&apos;s intellectual inheritance from Wisdom enables us to see a thus-far overlooked connection between Murdoch and the tradition of linguistic philosophy.&quot;
