650Mill’s PerfectionismProlegomena 5 (2): 149-164. 2006.J. S. Mill lays great emphasis on the importance of the notion of the individual as a progressive being. The idea that we need to conceive the self as an object of cultivation and perfection runs through Mill’s writings on various topics, and has played a certain role in recent interpretations. In this paper I propose a specific interpretation of Mill’s understanding of the self, along the lines of what Stanley Cavell identifies as a “perfectionist” concern for the self. Various texts by Mill, r…Read more

89Reshaping Ethics after WittgensteinWittgenstein-Studien 4 (1). 2013.This article suggests a reading of the significance of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus for ethics, in the light of Cora Diamond’s resolute reading. The contrasts between sense and nonsense and between ethics and science are commented on and are connected to a further contrast between a specialized response to language and the world and an unspecialized response characteristic of the humanistic disciplines. The Tractatus is seen as a work which diagnoses the loss of such a fully human unspecialized …Read more

37Forms of Life, Forms of RealityNordic Wittgenstein Review 4 43-62. 2015.The article explores aspects of the notion of forms of life in the Wittgensteinian tradition especially following Iris Murdoch’s lead. On the one hand, the notion signals the hardness and inexhaustible character of reality, as the background needed in order to make sense of our lives in various ways. On the other, the hardness of reality is the object of a moral work of apprehension and deepening to the point at which its distinctive character dissolves into the family of connections we have gai…Read more

23Manières d'être humainCités 38 (2): 47. 2009.Je vais évoquer ici la pertinence des concepts d’éthique au moyen de quelques réflexions sur le concept d’être humain. C’est là une notion cruciale parce que nous comprenons ce que signifie s’engager dans certaines activités dans la mesure où elles sont perçues comme humaines. La pensée morale est l’une de ces activités ; et par « moralité »..

14Wittgenstein and Forms of Life: Constellation and MechanismPhilosophies 9 (1): 4. 2023.The notion of forms of life points to a crucial aspect of Wittgenstein’s philosophical approach that challenges an influential line in the philosophical tradition. He portrays intellectual activities in terms of a cohesion of things held together in linguistic scenes rooted in the lives of people and the facts of the world. The original inspiration with which Wittgenstein worked on this approach is still relevant today in the recent technological turn associated with AI. He attacked a conception…Read more

12Pragmatism, Transcendentalism, and PerfectionismEuropean Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy 2 (2). 2010.The relation between Pragmatism, Transcendentalism, and Perfectionism is both obvious and difficult, and this is what prompted us to edit the present issue of the Journal. The relation is obvious, because the history of American Philosophy is deeply textured by this relation, and the transition from Transcendentalism to Pragmatism has been historically attested. Difficult, because these traditions seem to deny one another. Pragmatist philosophers have often presented themselves as the founder...

12The Tractatus and the ethical traditionRevue Internationale de Philosophie 300 (2): 93-105. 2022.Je pose une question concernant la place du Tractatus de Wittgenstein dans la tradition éthique. Le Tractatus et la tradition éthique Les remarques que je ferai sont à considérer dans le contexte d'une interprétation du Tractatus qui a été qualifiée de lecture résolue de cette œuvre, ainsi que de la philosophie de Wittgenstein en général Comme l'a écrit Cora Diamond, le Tractatus travaille sur la libération des besoins et des désirs philosophiques, une libération de la philosophie effectuée avec…Read more

11Mill’s Perfectionism: Millov perfekcionizamProlegomena 5 (2): 149-164. 2006.J. S. Mill uvelike naglašava važnost pojma pojedinca kao progresivnog bića. Ideja da jastvo trebamo pojmiti kao objekt kultiviranja i usavršavanja provlači se Millovim spisima iz različitih područja te je odigrala stanovitu ulogu u novijim tumačenjima. U ovome članku predlažem specifično tumačenje Millova shvaćanjajastva. Predlažem da se Milla čita u skladu s onime što je Stanley Cavell prepoznao kao ‘perfekcionističku’ skrb oko jastva. Različiti tekstovi, od Logike do O slobodi, ukazuju na jedn…Read more
