Ordinary Language Philosophy Duration: 43 minutes
First broadcast:Thursday 07 November 2013Melvyn Bragg and
his guests discuss Ordinary Language Philosophy, a school of thought which
emerged in Oxford
in the years following World War II. With its roots in the work of Ludwig
Wittgenstein, Ordinary Language Philosophy is concerned with the meanings of
words as used in everyday speech. Its adherents believed that many
philosophical problems were created by the misuse of words, and that if such
'ordinary language' were correctly analyzed, such problems would disappear.
Philosophers associated with the school include some of the most distinguished
British thinkers of the twentieth century, such as Gilbert Ryle and JL Austin.
With: Stephen Mulhall, Professor of Philosophy at New
College, Oxford, Ray Monk, Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Southampton and Julia Tanney, Reader in Philosophy of Mind at the University of
Kent
