Introduction to Hypatia Cluster “Wittgensteinian Understandings of Identities”
The 'Local' Nature of Religious Hinges and the Problem of 'Honest Doubt
I briefly address Duncan Pritchard's 'parity argument' and argue that it should be pared down to parity between religious hinges and local hinges. I then object to Pritchard's notion of 'honest doubt' as 'religious epistemic vertigo' to account-in the context of a Wittgensteinian epistemology-for the doubt that is often at the heart of religious belief. I argue that the 'local' nature of religious hinges offers a more plausible account
Reconceptualizing Gender (from the Stream of Life)
In this paper, we consider a range of trans-inclusive approaches to gender concepts and how they relate to the world, from family resemblance theories to conceptual engineering. In so doing, we shall also examine several concepts that are analogous to gender and other controversial and not-so-controversial concepts, such as “vegan cheese” and “adoptive parents.” Having assessed their merits and demerits, we argue that our gender concepts are not …

Hinge Epistemology
Can Wittgenstein be called a pragmatist
When Wittgenstein is called a pragmatist, it is usually with qualification. In this paper, I examine some of the criteria used to relate Wittgenstein to pragmatism (primacy of action, anti-foundationalism, fallibilism), and conclude that inasmuch as Wittgenstein is neither an anti-foundationalist nor a fallibilist, there may not be sufficient grounds to call him a pragmatist. But nothing stands in the way of considering him a full-fledged enactiv…
W ittgenstein, L udwig
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) is one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century. He is best known for Tractatus Logico‐Philosophicus , Philosophical Investigations , and On Certainty . Wittgenstein's philosophy covers a great range of topics including logic, mathematics, religion, aesthetics, anthropology, psychology, culture, and perception. In his treatment of these, Wittgenstein exposes and redefines our understanding of mind, language…
Beyond H acker's W ittgenstein
In “Wittgenstein on Grammar, Theses and Dogmatism,” P eter H acker addresses what he takes to be misconceptions of W ittgenstein's philosophy with respect to (1) the periodisation of his thought and to what should properly be counted as part of his work; (2) his conception of grammar since the B ig T ypescript (1929–33); and (3) his conception of philosophy as grammatical investigation. I argue that Hacker's restrictive conception of what ought t…
Cora Diamond and the Ethical Imagination
In much of her writing, Cora Diamond stresses the role of the imagination in awakening the sense of our humanity. She subtly unthreads the operations of the ethical imagination in literature, but deplores its absence in philosophy. Borrowing the notion of 'deflection' from Cavell, Diamond sees ethical understanding 'present only in a diminished and distorted way in philosophical argumentation' (2008, 57). She does, however, herself make a philoso…
