Philosophy and Ordinary Language: The bent and genius of our tongue
Philosophy and Ordinary
Language
Oswald Hanfling has written a lucid, painstaking, thorough and
comprehensive defence 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
This is a timely book. Oswald Hanfling offers a clearly-written and
wide-ranging defence of ‘ordinary language philosophy’.
Michael Beaney, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
This is an important and much needed book. Oswald Hanfling
engages in a lively defence of ordinary language philosophy – the
appeal to ‘what we say’ – while correcting some of the errors of its
founders (Austin and Ryle) and rebutting both traditional and recent
philosophical attacks on ordinary language. A courageous and
salutary effort!
Robert Arrington, Georgia State University
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.
