Avner Baz offers a critique of leading work in mainstream analytic
philosophy, and in particular challenges assumptions underlying
recent debates concerning philosophical method. In the first part
of The Crisis of Method, Baz identifies fundamental confusions
about what the widely-employed philosophical "method of cases" is
supposed to accomplish, and how. He then argues that the method, as
commonly employed by both "armchair" and "experimental"
philosophers, is underwritten by substantive, and poorly supported,
"representationalist" assumptions about languageassumptions to
which virtually all of the participants in the recent debates over
philosophical method have shown themselves committed. In the second
part of the book, Baz challenges those assumptions, both
philosophically and empirically. Drawing on Austin, Wittgenstein,
and Merleau-Ponty, as well as on empirical studies of first
language acquisition, he presents and motivates a broadly
pragmatist conception of language on which the method of cases as
commonly practiced is fundamentally misguidedmore misguided than
even its staunchest critics have hitherto recognized.
