Abstract

This book is about the pragmatics of language and it illustrates how pragmatics transcends the boundaries of linguistics. This volume covers Gricean pragmatics as well as topics including: conversation and collective belief, the norm of assertion, speech acts, what a context is, the distinction between semantics and pragmatics and implicature and explicature, pragmatics and epistemology, the pragmatics of belief, quotation, negation, implicature and argumentation theory,  Habermas’ Universal Pragmatics, Dascal’s theory of the dialectical self, theories and theoretical discussions on the nature of pragmatics from a philosophical point of view. Conversational implicatures are generally meaning augmentations on top of explicatures, whilst explicatures figure prominently in what is said. Discussions in this work reveal their characteristics and tensions within current theories relating to explicatures and implicatures. Authors show that explicatures and implicatures are calculable and not (directly) tied to conventional meaning. Pragmatics has a role to play in dealing with philosophical problems and this volume presents research that defines boundaries and gives a stable picture of pragmatics and philosophy. World renowned academic experts in philosophy and pragmalinguistics ask important theoretical questions and interact in a way that can be easily grasped by those from disciplines other than philosophy, such as anthropology, literary theory and law. A second volume in this series is also available, which covers the perspective of linguists who have been influenced by philosophy.

Abstract

The book offers a characterization of the meaning and role of the notion of truth in natural languages and an explanation of why, in spite of the big amount of proposals about truth, this task has proved to be resistant to the different analyses. The general thesis of the book is that defining truth is perfectly possible and that the average educated philosopher of language has the tools to do it. The book offers an updated treatment of the meaning of truth ascriptions from taking into account the latest views in philosophy of language and linguistics.

Abstract

L'attitude théorisée par Emmanuel Kant puis développée par Hans Vaihinger dans la La philosophie du comme si est ici examinée. Elle permet d'élucider certains paradoxes liés aux émotions provoquées par la fiction : émotion artistique, expérience religieuse, mais aussi théorie de la connaissance ou l'utilisation de la fiction peut conduire à des raisonnements corrects.

Abstract

orn in 1926 in Chicago, Hilary Putnam is one of the great figures of contemporary philosophy, whose diverse work crosses the philosophy of mathematics, science, spirit and language, but also ethics and metaphysics . Critic of logical empiricism, never ceasing to assert its internal realism, Putnam gradually came closer to pragmatism, which in his eyes constitutes the best parade, theoretical and practical, to relativism.It is this itinerary that we retrace here. The delicacy of the reading of the classic pragmatists - Pierce, James, Dewey, or even Wittgenstein - as well as the proposed extension of the concept of pragmatism allow to appreciate the ambivalence of Putnam's work but also of one of the currents major philosophical twentieth century.

Abstract

Pragmatists have traditionally been enemies of representationalism but friends of naturalism, when naturalism is understood to pertain to human subjects, in the sense of Hume and Nietzsche. In this volume Huw Price presents his distinctive version of this traditional combination, as delivered in his René Descartes Lectures at Tilburg University in 2008. Price contrasts his view with other contemporary forms of philosophical naturalism, comparing it with other pragmatist and neo-pragmatist views such as those of Robert Brandom and Simon Blackburn. Linking their different 'expressivist' programmes, Price argues for a radical global expressivism that combines key elements from both. With Paul Horwich and Michael Williams, Brandom and Blackburn respond to Price in new essays. Price replies in the closing essay, emphasising links between his views and those of Wilfrid Sellars. The volume will be of great interest to advanced students of philosophy of language and metaphysics.

Abstract

"Pragmatism established a philosophical presence over a century ago through the work of Charles Peirce, William James and John Dewey, and has enjoyed an unprecedented revival in recent years owing to the pioneering efforts of Richard Rorty and Hilary Putnam. The essays in this volume explore the history and themes of classic pragmatism, discuss the revival of pragmatism and show how it engages with a range of areas of inquiry including politics, law, education, aesthetics, religion and feminism. Together they provide readers with an overview of the richness and vitality of pragmatist thinking and the influence that it continues to exert both in philosophy and other disciplines. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of pragmatism, American philosophy and political theory"--

Abstract

Si le pragmatisme a longtemps rencontré des réticences en France, c’est à cause de son caractère « américain » et de sa réduction à la pédagogie Or, il retrouve aujourd’hui un écho et une influence inédits. Cela tient à un processus de sécularisation de la culture, d’individualisation et de privatisation de la vie sociale qui marque l’histoire des sociétés européennes. Le pragmatisme semble contribuer ainsi à une reconstruction de l’éducation. Pourtant, il semble que l’on ait méconnu, et que l’on méconnaisse encore, l’originalité et la force d’une tradition – James, Dewey, Rorty – qui s’attache à tenir ensemble deux domaines d’ordinaire traités distinctement : la théorie de la connaissance et la logique d’une part; la philosophie politique d’autre part. C’est cette caractérisation qu’examine cet ouvrage pour dégager deux caractéristiques centrales du pragmatisme : la récusation de toute forme de dualisme et l’affirmation du pluralisme. Dans chaque cas, ce livre montre comment s’articulent alors conception du savoir, théorie de la vérité et définitions logiques d’une part, pensée du politique, du pouvoir et de la démocratie d’autre part. Là est l’originalité de cet ouvrage qui permet d’éclairer alors les difficultés d’une pensée française pétrie de cartésianisme et éprise de la passion de l’unité, à faire sienne la philosophie du pragmatisme.

Abstract

Founder of American pragmatism, Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is considered the logician of this movement. He was however, just as much as William James, a great psychologist, working on the development of nascent experimental psychology, trying above all to think about the possible links between logic, psychology and metaphysics, by the elaboration of a "logical analysis of products of thought ”, inspired by Kantianism and medieval times (Ockam and Duns Scotus). A determined anti-psychologist and yet favourable to the taking into account of certain facts of psychology, anxious to extend formal logic to its philosophical (or semiotic) dimension, Peirce wanted to build a new model of the mind, which would extend to d 'other forms of intelligence than human thought, by a formal use of signs which nevertheless remains attentive to their irreducible wave. By presenting the main axes of this project - criticism of intuition and internalism, wave of sensation, theory of thought-sign, semiotics of the wave, reflections on logical machines, intentionality and mental images, normative conceptions of rationality and beliefs - these studies aim to reveal the originality and fruitfulness of Peircian ideas in philosophy of mind, and to show the coherence of this philosophical project close in many respects to the third path indicated by Kant in his deduction from categories, that of a “system of preformation of pure reason”.

Abstract

A pioneer in many fields of logic and philosophy - of knowledge, language, mathematics, and psychology - Peirce (1839-1914) is best known for his work in semiotics. This is also the founder of pragmatism, a major philosophical currents of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth e. But this pragmatism is still unrecognized, and too often associated with the two other classical theorists of the movement, William James and John Dewey. However, in his time already, Peirce had renamed it “pragmaticism”, to distance himself from the too materialistic, utilitarian and moralistic reading of his followers. For him, pragmatism was understood above all not as a doctrine, but as a method of conceptual clarification, based on a semantic and semiotic interpretation of logic, which, once the false problems of metaphysics had been eliminated, should open up to a new conception of scientific inquiry, meaning and knowledge, in the service of a scientific and realistic metaphysics, strongly inspired by Duns Scotus. The aim of this work is to identify three major characteristics of Peircian pragmatism: therapeutic, philosophical method of "manipulation of signs", scientific method of fixing true beliefs. This is where the specificity, originality and fruitfulness of Peircian pragmatism reside, which makes it impossible to confuse it with that of James or Dewey, as with contemporary neo-pragmatism (Richard Rorty).
