Book Description
Philosophy and Ordinary Language is a defense of the view that philosophy is largely about questions of language, which to a large extent means ordinary language. Oswald Hanfling, a leading expert in the development of analytic philosophy, covers a wide range of topics, including scepticism and the definition of "knowledge," free will, empiricism, "folk psychology," ordinary versus artificial logic, and philosophy versus science. He also draws on philosophers such as Austin, Wittgenstein, and Quine to explore the nature of ordinary language in philosophy.
Review
"This book gives a comprehensive overview of the main practitioners of ordinary language philosophy and their methods. Supplied with a large number of examples, this book allows its reader to follow the line of the argumentation easily." -- Katia Chirkova, Language
"Oswald Hanfling has written a lucid, painstaking, thorough and comprehensive defense of a certain method in philosophy, a method used, consciously or not, by many philosophers, derided by some, and mainly associated in our century with the names of Austin and Wittgenstein." -- Sir Peter Strawson, Oxford University
About the Author
Oswald Hanfling is Professor of Philosophy at the Open University. He is the author of several books including, Logical Positivism, The Quest for Meaning, and Wittgenstein’s Later Philosophy.
