- Fascinating reappraisal of a major thinker at the intersection of philosophy and linguistics
- The first collective study of Austin since the 1970s
- Shows the relevance of his work to current debates
- A notable contribution to the history of 20th-century philosophy, a fast-growing field
These new essays on J. L. Austin's philosophy constitute the first major study of his thought in decades. Eight leading philosophers join together to present a fresh evaluation of his distinctive work, showing how it can be brought to bear on issues at the top of today's philosophical agenda, such as scepticism and contextualism, the epistemology of testimony, the generality of the conceptual, and the viability of the semantics/pragmatics distinction. The contributors offer in-depth interpretations of Austin's views and demonstrate why his work deserves a more central place in mainstream philosophical discussion than it currently has. The volume also contains a substantial introduction that situates Austin's thought in its original intellectual milieu and
provides an overview of the many different ways in which his ideas have influenced later developments, in philosophy and elsewhere.Readership: Scholars and advanced students of philosophy.
