OLP proposes to try to reach an unbiased take on each example (not, somehow, generally, entirely), subject to acceptance by you, so also subject to co...
@"Banno" @"Ludwig V" @"javi2541997" I find Austin a refreshing example of how to productively do philosophy, no matter what the conclusions he comes t...
I wouldn’t draw that conclusion about terms from OLP necessarily. Austin’s “terms” of criticism look like ordinary comments, but “circumstance”, “mist...
@"Ludwig V" Just to follow through here from my response above, OLP is not arguing that reality is established by “language”. “Language” is not its te...
You’re not wrong about Moore. He was simply trying to satisfy the desire of metaphysics for certainty with basically, as you say, common sense (Austin...
@"Banno" @"Ludwig V" @"javi2541997" In the end, I don’t think people take Austin seriously enough, to be as impactful as he should be, so thanks for t...
@"Banno" @"Ludwig V" @"javi2541997" @"Ciceronianus" @"frank" @"Richard B" @"Janus" @"creativesoul" So are we prepared to accept that: Now it seems to ...
Well, “based on” is a distracting word here—of course the only one capable of expressing myself may be me (though others can read me). But, obviously ...
The term “ordinary language philosophy” is confusing and made up. First, “ordinary” is only in contrast to “metaphysical”, here, sense-data. And it is...
@"Banno" @"Ludwig V" @"javi2541997" @"Ciceronianus" @"frank" @"Richard B" @"Janus" @"creativesoul" Just to tweak this a bit, Austin is not “shifting” ...
@"Ludwig V" Ordinary Language Philosophy has nothing to do with common sense or with the ordinary man, as I tried to explain here (and elsewhere as re...

@"Banno" @"Ludvig" @"Corvus" @"javi2541997" @"Ciceronianus" @"frank" @"Richard B" @"Janus" @"creativesoul" Just to loop back to Lec. VIII where Austin...
Well, you are right that he does try to make it a “linguistic issue” “because is not so good an instrument as the sense-datum language for our special...
We could just refer to color and shape as a thing’s color and shape (thus the reticence to “abstract” from them to anything else as unnecessary); our ...
Well, we could play a little at ordinary language philosophy and see if there are any actual distinctions but don’t we see here at least a related pro...
Of course there are legitimate cases where applications of generalization are more useful than specificity. This comes from the sense applied to multi...
@"Banno" perhaps it could be said that the picture of a real world we would describe, merely mitigated by sense-data, limits itself only to a descript...
@"Banno" @"Ludvig" @"Corvus" @"javi2541997" @"Ciceronianus" @"frank" @"Richard B" I think this essay addresses the issue in its own way, though perhap...
I don't know what the standard would be to "rule... out" the distinction, but I don't think he wants to say our questions about the world cannot be ad...

I am running Safari on an iPad 6 and nothing seems to have gone wrong, but, and here’s a question, how would one know they are hacked when the point i...
Did you see this reply? I take him in the current work only to be pointing out that words can have different import given a context of expectations an...
We're getting off the rails. I thought you were dismissing my claim that Austin "is providing evidence of how the world works." Thus my bolded quote w...
I do, but--and this is Cavell reading Wittgenstein, so I'll keep it short--there is knowledge, and then there is our relation to that knowledge, to ou...
I was responding to what seemed like your dismissal that Austin: "is providing evidence of how the world works, — Antony Nickles I really didn't see h...

I'm not sure you've read Sec. VII, where Austin claims that we only ask "Real or not?" in the case of something in particular (p. 68-69). So the quest...
Maybe you are not taking seriously Austin's "cannot" and "wrong" and "facts" and the distinctions he points out. He comes off as arrogant, but he is p...
You're thinking of "the world" as not including origin stories, mythology, religious belief, etc. That there is, for example, nothing meaningful to an...
