Over half a century ago, J. L. Austin predicted developments in the
discipline of grammar which, in properly establishing it as a
science, would at the same time displace a large part of philosophy
- philosophical logic, to be specific. With the boundary finally
removed between what philosophers then called 'logical syntax'
(essentially logical form) and what grammarians study as syntax,
Austin believed that 'we shall have rid ourselves of one more part
of philosophy ...in the only way we ever can get rid of philosophy,
by kicking it upstairs'. It was a radical, almost heretical, vision
- the study of logic, one of the original and fundamental planks of
philosophy, subsumed under the science of grammar. In the late
1980s and early 1990s, Victor Dudman developed an English grammar
of the kind Austin had predicted. His work impressed many, but was
ultimately misunderstood. Jean Curthoys' introduction explores the
philosophical issues involved in those misunderstandings. Dudman's
later, unfinished, but conceptually most complete, work is the
second part of this book.
