    The Tractatus revolves around the connection between two central topics – the preconditions of symbolic representation and the nature of logic-cum-philosophy. Proper philosophy is an activity, namely of revealing the hidden structures that allow language to represent reality by way of logical analysis. At the same time the main purpose of such logical analysis consists in revealing metaphysical statements to be nonsensical. In the subsequent development of analytic philosophy, these two ideas pa…Read more

    Quine and Davidson
    In Ernie Lepore & Kurt Ludwig (eds.), Blackwell Companion to Donald Davidson, Blackwell. 2013.
    My contribution charts the interaction between these two giants of postpositivist analytic philosophy in a historical and exegetical vein. But it also assesses the emerging common ground and the differences from a substantive point of view. Following a brief biographical account of their relation, the first section contends that at the grand‐strategic level Quine and Davidson are united by a “logical pragmatism.” The next section considers their contrasting relations to naturalism. I then turn t…Read more

    Denken
    In Johann S. Ach & Dagmar Borchers (eds.), Handbuch Tierethik: Grundlagen – Kontexte – Perspektiven, J.b. Metzler. pp. 52-56. 2018.
    Seit Descartes gilt Denken nicht nur als das Vermögen, welches Menschen vor Tieren auszeichnet, sondern auch, als das Merkmal, welches den Bereich des Psychischen bzw. Mentalen von dem des bloß Materiellen unterscheidet. Die Cartesianische Auffassung des Denkens ist allerdings sehr umfassend, da sie außer intellektuellen Fähigkeiten auch Empfindung, Wahrnehmung, Einbildungskraft und Wünsche einschließt. Der etablierte Begriff – sowohl in der Umgangssprache als auch in den Wissenschaften – ist je…Read more

    Dictionnaire Wittgenstein
    Editions Gallimard. 2003.
    Ce dictionnaire apporte à l'œuvre de Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) ce qui était à ses yeux la chose la plus importante en philosophie, une " vue synoptique ". L'œuvre de Wittgenstein, par son style et son inachèvement, demande beaucoup au lecteur. Ce livre est un véritable guide, dressant la carte de sa philosophie, ou plutôt de ses philosophies, puisque Wittgenstein présente le cas unique d'un grand philosophe auteur de deux philosophies, également influentes, et dont la seconde est largement…Read more
