This book addresses five main topics of metaphysics in its first section: formal objects and truth-makers; tropes; properties and predicates; varieties of relations; and the notion of explanation in metaphysics. The second part of this volume focuses on the history of philosophy with an emphasis on Austrian philosophy: the ideas of Bolzano, Wittgenstein, Locke and Bergson, amongst others, are explored in the papers presented here. This is the first volume in a two-volume set that originates from papers presented to Professor Kevin Mulligan, covering the subjects that he contributed to during his career including ontology, mind and value, history and philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. This volume contains thirty two chapters, written by researchers from across Europe, North America and North Africa. These papers cover topics in metaphysics ranging from Lehrer and Tolliver’s discussion of truth and tropes, to Johansson’s defence of the distinction between thick and thin relations and Persson and Sahlin’s presentation of the difficulties inherent in applying the concept of explanation in metaphysics. Papers on the history of philosophy include a look at Bolzano’s formative years and his conception of mathematics. De Libera examines Brentano’s adverbial theory of judgment and Fisette traces the history of the Philosophical Society of the University of Vienna in the late 19th and early 20th century. Marion contests the trendy pragmatist accounts that lump Wittgenstein and Heidegger together and there are analyses of Locke and Bergson’s work, amongst the many papers presented here. This volume contains three chapters in French and one in Spanish. The second volume of this set looks at ethics, values and emotions, epistemology, perception and consciousness, as well as philosophy of mind and philosophy of language.

La pragmatique, discipline qui étudie les effets des énoncés oraux ou écrits, fait-elle partie des sciences du langage ou des sciences de la communication ? Les auteurs, dans leur sous-titre, semblent plutôt avoir tranché pour la seconde hypothèse. Ils ont en tout cas choisi de considérer que la pragmatique n’est pas une branche de la linguistique : ils prônent une « pragmatique non linguistique d’obédience cognitive ». L’ouvrage d’Anne Reboul et Jacques Moeschler permet de comprendre comment la pragmatique, ainsi envisagée, travaille sur des faits de langue, mais s’y intéresse pour des raisons autres que le linguiste ou l’analyste du discours. Conçu comme une introduction générale à la pragmatique, ce livre passe en revue les problématiques et les concepts de cette discipline, en n’oubliant pas d’en préciser les origines historiques : la question des actes de langages, l’idée de règles d’efficacité de la conversation, ou « maximes conversationnelles » (Grice), le principe de pertinence (Sperber et Wilson)... Au fil des pages, on perçoit la forte imbrication de la pragmatique avec d’autres disciplines, ainsi qu’avec certains domaines d’application (informatique, intelligence artificielle, ingénierie linguistique). Les notions d’« état mental », d’« intention », de « sincérité », de « croyance » ou d’« inférence », issus de la psychologie et de la philosophie, indiquent que la pragmatique non linguistique ne s’intéresse pas à la langue en elle-même et pour elle-même, mais à son interprétation dans l’usage et aux conditions de son efficacité. Ce livre clair et pédagogique est à mettre entre les mains de tous ceux qui se demandent ce qu’est exactement la « pragmatique ».
