Description

Philosophy and Ordinary Language is a defence of the view that philosophy is largely about questions of language, which to a large extent means ordinary language. Oswald Hanfling shows that this view does not entail that philosophy is less deep and difficult than it is usually taken to be. Special chapters are devoted to Austin, Wittgenstein, Quine and Grice; and among the other thinkers discussed are Plato, Frege, Ryle, Russell, Strawson, and Putnam and Kripke.

Author Biography:

Oswald Hanfling is Visiting Research Professor of Philosophy at the Open University. He is the author of several books including Logical Positivism, The Quest for Meaning, Wittgenstein’s Later Philosophy, and Wittgenstein and the Human Form of Life (Routledge 2002).
