Twardowskian Semantics for Performative Utterances
Логико-философские штудии. 2024. Vol. 21. No. 4. P. 195–197.
Works of Twardowski in the early XX century contain an outline of general semantic framework for natural languages. This framework, proposed within Twardowski’s theory of actions and ‘products’, provides a drastic alternative to Frege’s semantic framework based on the notion of proposition (Gedanke in Frege). The latter has to a great extent shaped the following development of logical semantics. However, some recent works state that the Twardowski’s theory allows to dissolve a number of problems characteristic to proposition-based semantics. In this paper, I show that it also provides a ground for certain reconsideration of speech act theory. Since speech act theory was suggested by Austin as a fundamental alternative to standard proposition-oriented view on language, its emergence in a sense has divided philosophy of language into barely connected realms. Turn to Twardowskian semantics arguably allows to develop more consistent understanding of how language works.

Что есть политический реализм: фиксация фактов или постижение скрытых тенденций? В утопия - несбыточная мечта или призыв, способный преобразить мир? Наконец, есть ли в политике место для морали? Книга отвечает на эти вопросы через призму наследия Макиавелли. Автор показывает его не советником государей, а моралистом, утопистом и "народным трибуном". Диалог с таким Макиавелли позволяет автору ...

The article analyses certain nuances of the interaction between paradoxes and the principles of classical logic, in context of V. A. Ladov's proposed distinction between preventive and reactive solutions to paradoxes. It is corroborated that preventive blocking of paradoxes through artificial rules of language use is inappropriate. The openness of the formal principles of a ...

The article examines organic theory within the socio-philosophical worldview of the Russian legal philosopher P. I. Novgorodtsev. The study employs the method of historical-philosophical reconstruction, aimed at revealing the internal logic of the development of Novgorodtsev’s political and legal thought by contextualizing his key concepts within a specific philosophical and politico-legal tradition. This approach allows ...

Макс Шелер (1874–1928) является одной из ключевых фигур в философии XX века. Прожив сравнительно короткую жизнь, он оставил яркий след в европейской философской мысли, в своих сочинениях осуществив глубокую и фундаментальную разработку основных областей философского знания. Всегда чувствуя актуальные тенденции современного мира и живо, со всей страстью своей спонтанности откликаясь на них, Шелер не случайно ...

In the work, technology is considered as a special form of being, going beyond the utilitarian and instrumental understanding and forming a new ontological space. This space is described as a technocosmos or metacosmos: an autonomous and self-generating reality in which technologies do not simply serve human needs, but begin to constitute their own logic ...

This article proposes a rethinking of the role of artificial intelli-gence in contemporary science through an analysis of HarryCollins’s concept of expertise. The point of departure is the ob-served tension between normative accounts of expertise –grounded in ideas of socialisation, tacit knowledge and member-ship in a form of life – and the empirical practices in ...

The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) is one of the key episodes in the narratives of the Book of Genesis. In modern scholarship, various—often sharply divergent—datings of this pericope are proposed, as well as different interpretations of its place in the picture of the formation of the biblical text that was put ...

Like other narratives in the Book of Genesis, the story of Cain and Abel (Gen 4:1–16) has been studied and commented upon for more than two millennia. However, recent scholarship has introduced significant revisions to traditional interpretations. Over the past five years, several monumental commentaries on Genesis 1–11 have been published, offering new—and sometimes mutually ...

The language of filtrations and contractions is used to describe the class of G-varieties obtained as the total spaces of the construction of contraction applied to affine spherical varieties, which is well-known in invariant theory.
These varieties are local models for arbitrary affine G-varieties of complexity 1 with a one-dimensional categorical quotient. As examples, reductive algebraic semigroups ...

Actions of reductive groups on normal algebraic varieties with one-parameter families of spherical orbits of maximal dimension are studied under the assumption that the categorical quotient for the action is one-dimensional. As an application, the classification of the actions of the group SL(2) on three-dimensional normal affine varieties is completed. The ground field K is assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic zero. ...
