Descartes: The Smear and Related Misconstruals
In part because he is known through his Meditations, a short pamphlet he wrote, rightly in fear, to conciliate (unsuccessfully) with the church, and because his rationalism is misconstrued when interpreted empirically, Descartes is subject to a variety of misunderstandings. It does not help that he is dogged by a canard invented in the late 1600s and revived by the animal rights movement, a canard that was designed to denigrate the then burgeonin…
The First Social Psychologist
Because both the individual and the state call for simultaneous investigation in social psychology, one could argue that in some sense Serge Moscovici, with the publication of Psychoanalysis , put forward the first systematic large scale empirical study of cognitive representations in, as it happily proved, various blocs of French understandings of psychoanalysis, admitting, characteristically, doubts about the individual, bloc, and the state rep…
Instinctive Incest Avoidance: A Paradigm Case for Evolutionary Psychology Evaporates
Westermarck proposed that humans have an incest avoidance instinct, triggered by frequent intimate contact with family members during the first several years of life. Westermarck reasons that (1) familial incest will tend to produce less fit offspring, (2) those humans without instinctive incest avoidance would hence have tended to die off and those with the avoidance instinct would have produced more viable offspring, and hence (3) familial ince…

Nature’s Experiments, Society’s Closures
The Wild Child, who lives through much of childhood without exposure to language or culture, is exceedingly rare. I examine three of the most famous and most well authenticated cases: Helen Keller, who was isolated from eighteen months until her seventh year; ‘Victor’, the wild boy of the forest near Aveyron, whom Itard studied; and ‘Genie,’ who was isolated from language from age two until the middle of her thirteenth year. Attention is paid bot…

How J. L. Austin Does Things with Words
Justin Leiber HOW J. L. AUSTIN DOES THINGS WITH WORDS Though more than a decade has passed since J. L. Austin's death and the subsequent publication of his papers and two reconstructed lecture series, one has little confidence that we understand, even roughly, the purpose and significance of the work of the "implacable professor," as Stanley Cavell dubbed him.1 This sense of diffidence cannot be ascribed to the feeling that his work was incomplet…
