On Being Bound to Linguistic Norms. Reply to Reinikainen and Kaluziński
The question whether a constitutive linguistic norm can be prescriptive is central to the debate on the normativity of meaning. Recently, the author has attempted to defend an affirmative answer, pointing to how speakers sporadically invoke constitutive linguistic norms in the service of linguistic calibration. Such invocations are clearly prescriptive. However, they are only appropriate if the invoked norms are applicable to the addressed speake…
Zwischen Analytischem Pragmatismus und Quietismus
Dieser Artikel untersucht den meta-philosophischen Graben, der sich durch die P i t t s b u r g h e r S c h u l e der zeitgenössischen Philosophie zieht. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Meinungsverschiedenheit über die Angemessenheit und Erfolgsaussichten philosophischer Erläuterungsversuche, in denen begriffliche Praktiken, welche wir nur implizit beherrschen, durch die Kombination einfacher und einfach zu überblickender praktischer Regeln nachkon…
Ethische Wirklichkeit
Doubts regarding the intellectual honesty of everyday ethical discourse primarily relate to two of its fundamental assumptions. First: Ethical judgments are truth-apt. Second: Ethical claims are claims of reason. The author offers a new line of defense for these assumptions. The principal reference points in his argument are the language philosophy approaches of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Robert Brandom.
Hobbes's Struggle with Contractual Obligation. On the Status of the Laws of Nature in Hobbes's Work
This paper argues that throughout his intellectual career, Hobbes remains unsatisfied with his own attempts at proving the invariant advisability of contract-keeping. Not only does he see himself forced to abandon his early idea that contractual obligation is a matter of physical laws. He also develops and retains doubts concerning its theoretical successor, the doctrine that the obligatoriness characteristic of contracts is the interest in self-…
Warring tautologies
It is commonly thought that the prevalence of moral dissent poses a problem for the moral cognitivist, forcing her to diagnose either a lot of misunderstanding, or a lot of unexplained observational error. Since mere misunderstanding can be ruled out in most cases of moral dissent, and since the diagnosis of widespread unexplained error is interpretively unstable, prevalent dissent has pushed many philosophers towards non-cognitivism. In this ess…
