Wittgenstein Seminar 2019-2020
RETURN TO ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY
Organized by: Christiane Chauviré, Bruno Ambroise, Pierre Fasula, Sandra Laugier
Location: Sorbonne, University Paris 1, UFR de philosophie, 17, rue de la Sorbonne, Paris 5e, escalier C, 1er étage, droite, salle Lalande
After several years devoted to the concept of the form of life - at the junction of Wittgenstein philosophy and critical theory, a question which will be the occasion of a special session on 26th October, the 2019-2020 Wittgenstein seminar will signal the return to the forefront of the philosophical scene of ordinary language philosophy; understood not only as the study of its main figures (Wittgenstein, Austin, Strawson, Ryle, Cavell) but also as an alternative paradigm in philosophy of language. Recently, books (Avner Baz, Sandra Laugier, Toril Moi, etc.) and journal issues ("Who's Afraid of Ordinary Language Philosophy? A Plea for Reviving a Wrongly Reviled Tradition", GFPJ, Alice Crary and Joel De Lara) affirmed the relevance of Wittgenstein's and Austin's methods, thus contesting a long tradition of "OLP bashing" and proposing a new narrative in the philosophy of language. The death of ordinary language philosophy has been heralded many times since the late 1960s, but despite its many destructions and criticisms by Gellner, Katz, Fodor, Geach, Grice, etc., it has resisted. From now on it reemerges in the most diverse fields: ethics, gender and queer studies, social criticism, literary theory, economics, film studies… But also at the heart of philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, where it constitutes a critical and realistic alternative to a dominant and conformist version of philosophy of mind.
