“In this project we aim at exploring prospects for a 21st century
post-analytic and post-phenomenological philosophy of thought, mind and
language. The project involves a strong component of history of 20th
century philosophy, in both traditions, a working out of genealogies,
and a critique of the caricatures of analytic and continental philosophy
as being, respectively, anti-metaphysical and scietificist and
antiscientificist. We will look at work of authors on both sides who
have been proposing theoretically challenging readings of the history of
20th century philosophy, namely those of the Harvard based B. Dreben
school (Floyd & Shieh 2001), and also J. Benoît. (Bemoit 2005). Work
on the history of philosophy around B. Dreben is emblematic of a rising
of historic consciousness within the analytic tradition, which is
generally seen as anhistorical by its adversaries. B. Dreben has also
claimed that the analytic tradition ended with Wittgenstein and Quine,
and part of our intention in this project is to assess that claim. The
project will focus on specific issues which make comparisons possible,
such the nature (and limits) of intentionality, starting wih the way it
was approached in the times of Frege /Husserl, the status of perception
vs language in the analysis of meaning, psychology/philosophy relations
and the reasons for rejecting psychologism, (P. Engel ) and the
realism/anti-realism debate. We will also try to formulate and assess
accusations of idealism to analytic linguistic philosophy. Throughout
the project, we will pay especial attention to those philosophers such
as L. Wittgenstein, J. McDowell and H. Putnam who already exemplify in
their writings some of the convergences we are looking for.
