Demystifying Meaning in Horwich and Wittgenstein
Ch. 9. P. 164–184.
Bronzo S.
Paul Horwich has advocated and attributed to the later Wittgenstein a “use-theory of meaning” that aims to demystify meaning by reducing it to pure regularities of use. This chapter challenges Horwich’s appropriation of Wittgenstein and seeks to make room for a different conception of the demystification of meaning. It argues that Wittgenstein does indeed aim to demystify meaning, but does not think that this involves any attempt to reduce meaning to something else.

An analytical review of publications on the quantum mechanics of living matter is presented. This
topic has appeared only in recent years. At the same time, its analysis leads to a discussion of fundamental
problems that arose with quantum mechanics a hundred years ago: the nature of ‘the process of measuring
and the duality of the relationship between ...

This paper is dedicated to the concept of philosophical analysis in work of three classics of analytic philosophy: Ryle, Strawson and Wittgenstein. These philosophers, as many in their generations, believe that philosophical analysis does not bring forth new knowledge, it simply brings clarity into our ways of speaking. However, despite the main stream of analytical ...

В данной работе рассматривается интерпретация реализма, предложенная современным американским философом Хилари Патнэмом. Согласно видению этого философа, эпистемологическая проблема реализма, которая обсуждалась в аналитической философии в XX веке, связана с проблемой ценности нашей жизни – так, реализм сам становится ценностью. В своих книгах Патнэм ссылается на Витгенштейна и говорит, что их понимание реализма одинаково. Данная работа ...

This paper deals with L. Wittgenstein's philosophy of language. Author examines the legitimacy of Wittgenstein‘s ideas for contemporary pragmatism and references for his philosophy in H. Putnam's late works. The seeming contradictions between the theories of two philosophers are demonstrated. Nevertheless, it is argued that Wittgenstein's epistemology and ontology has intellectual relevance for Putnam's project. ...

This article is a response to the thesis of K.A. Rodin about the exclusively conceptual influence of Wittgenstein and the problem of following the rule on social research. The authors argue that along with the methodological line traced by K.A. Rodin, one should single out a purely scientific line of influence of Wittgenstein's ideas, the ...

The article is devoted to the consideration of linguistic and mystical motives in the philosophical constructions by P. Florensky. The author reveals that the dis- closure of this problem is possible through the thematization of such concepts as language and religious experience. The article puts forward the thesis that the leitmotif of Florensky’s onto-epistemology has ...

Both Christian theologists and pagan philosophers of early Alexandrian tradition (2–4 cent. AD) took great pains to substantiate magic efficacy of names and speech. Linguistic conceptions of Plato’s Cratylus, Aristotelian De interpretatione and that of Stoics were reconsidered. One of the major difficulties of that time was the possibility for a human to communicate with ...

This article analyzes the evolution of Pavel Florensky’s teachings about language from the end of the 1910s to the early 1920s in the context of the two lines of influence (Humboldtian–Potebnian and Palamite) on the basis of which this teaching developed. In his reasoning about language, Florensky, proceeding from intuition, declares that there is a ...

David Chalmers and John Perry both construe phenomenal concepts as irreducible to descriptive concepts of physical properties or properties, which logically supervene on them. But they draw different conclusions from this point. D. Chalmers in “The Conscious Mind” argues that the epistemic gap between phenomenal and physical properties shows that the former cannot be ontologically ...

The article offers a general overview of how John McDowell tries to «domesticate» Hegelian philosophy by fitting it into the context of contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. One of the ways of such «domestication» (or even appropriation) of Hegel's philosophy is to bring the «identity thesis» (identity of the of the subject and object of thought) into ...

The purpose of this work is to characterize clearly the early Wittgenstein’s position in context of the contemporary discussions between the adherers of classical ontology, based on the notion of substance, and its detractors. The Aristotle’s ousiology is usually regarded as a locus classicus of substantial ontology. A noticeable tendency in the contemporary philosophy is the rejective ...

The distinction between sense and nonsense is central to Wittgenstein’s philosophy. It is at the basis of his conception of philosophy as a struggle against illusions of sense generated by misunderstandings of the logic of our language. Moreover, it informs the notions of “grammar” (in the later work) and “logical syntax” (in the early work), whose investigation serves to ...

The article treats Ludwig Wittgenstein’s manuscripts and typescripts where he formulates the problem of impossibility of “phenomenological language” defined by him as the “description of immediate sensual perception without any hypothetical supplementation.” One may find this phase of his philosophy (1929-1933) a bit paradoxical because the philosopher claims this phase, from the very beginning, to ...

The article examines some well-known attempts to consider Ludwig Wittgenstein's “Philosophical Investigations” in the context of transcendental idealism. The main purpose of these attempts is to protect Wittgenstein's later philosophy from the relativistic interpretation of such concepts as “language games” and “forms of life”. Thus, Bernard Williams, noting the ambiguity of the pronoun “we” in ...

The article examines the arguments of John McDowell in favor of quietism as the main methodological attitude of Ludwig Wittgenstein. McDowell shows that we cannot ignore Wittgenstein's quietism without compromising our understanding of his ideas about linguistic meaning and rule-following. The main obstacle to understanding the role of quietism in Wittgenstein's philosophy is the opposition ...
