La filosofia analitica? Un antidoto alla post verità Un libro Schuringa ha sollevato dubbi sulla validità di un approccio logico ai temi morali. Eppure chiarezza e rigore restano condizioni essenziali

What an illuminating conversation on the Social History of Analytic Philosophy!

As a philosopher based in Florida, I especially appreciated the efforts of @acidhorizon.bsky.social and @schuringa.bsky.social to relate this history to our current political moment.

How Did Analytic Philosophy Become the Ruling Class of Thought? Christoph Schuringa Explains

Very much enjoyed this episode of @acidhorizon.bsky.social with @schuringa.bsky.social on my drive today - highly recommended and now want to read his book on Marx open.spotify.com/episode/7qDC...

Except for this post ofc

"It says here on page 62 that the task of Danish Marxism is to abolish itself", said Toad cheerfully.

"Lovely", Frog replied.

you'll be fine if you've read the origin story "Naming and Necessity"

The fact of the matter is that the world has surely never seen the like of such a factory-like, superficial type of criticism - where every word is an arrow directed against someone's person, where a year's work is dismissed in three lines, where every phrase betrays a lack of the most elementary education, where no other purpose is maintained other than to incite laughter and to insult others, where often not even the semblance of objectivity is paid its due.

Social media, eh? Actually from a pamphlet published in Berlin, in around 1828.

Very clear from @axdouglas.bsky.social

Absolutely. Though I know less about the post-Austinian life than you do, I think you’re right to be perplexed about precisely this

Someone should propose an edited collection, The Linguistic Twirls

Fair! It’s hard to say anything precise in this medium … just wanted to step in in case it seemed to others that the social turn was what I set out. As you say, I do recognize the increasing embrace of social topics

When it comes to the original question -- I think Austin himself recognized that pretty much anything done with speech is a speech act (including 'constatives'). Some fragments of speech might not be speech acts -- but they are likely to be fragments of such acts. In a way this is as it should be

I actually don't think there is a 'social turn' in analytic philosophy (I have a chapter in my book trying to show that this is not the case). There *was* such a thing as a 'linguistic turn', although this was understood in a bewildering variety of ways (and I suspect the idea is itself a vague one)

Happy to be part of this workshop with Cristoph Schuringa next week at Hegels Archive :D

A great recent article in @philosopher1923.bsky.social magazine by NU London's Christoph Schuringa @schuringa.bsky.social, on the question 'Was Marx a Philosopher?'. Christoph is drawing on his recent book Karl Marx and the Actualization of Philosophy:

"Was Marx a Philosopher"

Christoph Schuringa argues that Marx's overall project is concerned with raising philosophy itself to its highest power to actualize it, seeking to surpass predecessors including Hegel.
