     “Ordinary language and contextualism”

    19 th-21st may 2014

    Sala de Reuniões | FLUP

     

    [CARTAZ]

    In philosophy of language contextualism is most often an inspiration to technical work on the implications of pragmatic phenomena for the semantic structure of a language, or its representation in a theory. The aim of this workshop is rather, prescinding from the question of the proper treatment of pragmatic phenomena in a linguistic theory, to consider the implications of occasion-sensitivity for the nature and objectivity of thought. It will focus particularly on the role assigned to sensitivity to occasions in the philosophy of J. L. Austin and of Wittgenstein, and particularly the bearing they see in it for philosophical method. By thus examining its origins in philosophical thought we hope to come better to understand its role, or roles, in current thought.
