On Being With Others: Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Derrida by Simon Glendinning (Eng

Description: On Being With Others by Simon Glendinning Uncovers one of the key questions in philosophy: how can we claim to have knowledge of minds other than our own? FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description On Being With Others is an outstanding and compelling uncovering of one of the key questions in philosophy: how can we claim to have knowledge of minds other than our own? On Being With Others clearly shows how the problem of other minds is trapped in a fruitless debate between the sceptical belief that the minds of others cannot be known and those who wish to dispel that scepticism. Simon Glendinnings fascinating analysis of this problem argues that it has polarised debate to such an extent that we do not know how to meet Wittgensteins famous challenge that to see the behaviour of a living thing is to see its soul. On Being With Others sets out to discover whether Wittgensteins remark can be justified by drawing on both the analytic and continental traditions. Simon Glendinning explores why early attempts by Austin and Heidegger to reframe scepticism failed before linking this to the philosophy of language. Glendinning draws on the debate between Searle and Derrida and the work of John McDowell to show how a similar, misleading split over meaning has also been created in language.A key feature of the book is how to recast these debates to find out whether we can see behaviour. A challenging and controversial linking of contemporary controversies in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language. On Being With Others is essential reading for those interested in a problem that cuts across both analytic and continental philosophy. Back Cover On Being With Others is an outstanding exploration of this key philosophical question. Simon Glendinning shows how traditional positions in the philosophy of mind can do little to rebuff the accusation that in fact we have little claim to have knowledge of minds other than our own. On Being With Others sets out to refute this charge and disentangle many of the confusions in contemporary philosophy of mind and language that have led to such scepticism. Simon Glendinning explores why early attempts by J.L. Austin and Martin Heidegger to refute scepticism about other minds failed and argues that we must turn to Wittgenstein in order to build a solid theory of other minds. Drawing on the celebrated debate between John Searle and Jacques Derrida, Simon Glendinning establishes fascinating and important links between controversies in the philosophy of mind, language and epistemology.
