When meaning goes by the board, what about philosophy?
Original language description
Many philosophers, and analytic philosophers in particular, say that philosophy consists in the analysis of meaning (indeed, some analytic philosophers wanted to directly identify philosophy with the pursuit of meaning). But after the Quinean attack, theconcept of meaning turns out to be ever more problematic. In the paper I try to show that there is a sense in which philosophy can still be understood as the pursuit of meaning - if we do not take such a definition as implying that it is something absolutely fixed and that the task of philosophy is simply to point it out. Philosophy, I claim, is a matter of the critique of the usefulness of the languages we use, it does not result in theories in our common language, but rather at practical hints that are to make us see, to use Austin's popular turn of phrase, how we do things with words, and how else we could do them.
