Austin's philosophy, opening new avenues for thinking about ethics and other contemporary issues in the wake of Austin's profound philosophical work. While Austin is primarily recognized as a philosopher of language, whose work centered on the pragmatic aspects of speech, his contributions to ordinary language philosophy and speech act theory are considered his most significant contributions to philosophy. This book challenges the prevailing view that Austin's theoretical notions were merely heuristic tools used to debunk the fact\/value dichotomy. Furthermore, it demonstrates that Austin's relentless focus on the ordinary is driven by a desire to expose the complexity and multifaceted nature of our lives in language. What emerges is an attempt to engage with Austin on problems that remain central to philosophy today, such as the question of linguistic inheritance, truth, the relationship between a language inherited and morality, and how we should navigate linguistic elasticity and historicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLectures on a Philosophy Less Ordinary will appeal to scholars and advanced students engaged in the study of Austin's philosophy, philosophy of language, and the history of analytic philosophy. It provides a deep and insightful exploration of Austin's ideas, challenging readers to think critically and explore new perspectives on these important philosophical topics. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or a newcomer to Austin's work, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives that will enhance your understanding of his philosophy and its relevance to contemporary thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 453g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032112466\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Niklas Forsberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45179399733498,"sku":"9781032112466","price":42.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_89b67f36-8e26-49d7-b7d0-d647aad0c092.jpg?v=1707753111","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/lectures-on-a-philosophy-less-ordinary-language-and-morality-in-jl-austins-philosophy-9781032112466","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
