Ακ-ίύιίαιι Tltentes öfters a recotwiuAior o! pbih si ph ical views on several themes developed bv |d. Austin. Exploring Austin’s work in detail through a series ot fhemuhcallv organized chapters. Marina Shisa draws on both published work as well as unpublished manuscript notes to oiler a defence ol Austins speech act theor characterized be a xpecitic notion of illocution, against some important criticisms. Shisa offers a reconstruction of Austin's responsibility-based concept ion ot action drawing on his remarks on acts and actions in Heir to T o Things with Words and in later papers. Exploring Austin’s contributions to epistemology and the philosophe of perception (including his realist stance, anti scepticism, and presentational view ot perception), Shisa analyses the roles that he assigns to knowledge in the dynamics of assertion. On the theme of’truth. Austins claims are expounded and explained as worthv of reassessment. Other chapters explore the ways in which Austin deals with sense, reference, family resemblances’, truth-lalsity assessments, and context-dependence. Austin’s most famous statement of method, as outlining a ‘linguistic phenomenology’ is cast as analogous to Husserl's phenomenology in adopting an epoche which isolates language (rather than consciousness), a reading which helps to clarify several characteristic positions adopted by Austin. On metaphilosophical themes, Shisa analyses the notion of ordinariness, distinguishing it from common sense and (he endorsement of the ‘linguistic Turn, approaching it instead in terms ot the b\ -default nature ol the
social bond and conversational cooperation. Various recurrent aspects ot Austin s philosophy are illuminated: the opposition to dichotomies, the attention paid to intersubjectivity, the commitment to a ‘sober’ philosophy, and a strong sense ot human situatedness. |
