J. L. Austin (1911-1960) exercised in Post-war Oxford an
intellectual authority similar to that of Wittgenstein in
Cambridge. Although he completed no books of his own and published
only seven papers, Austin became through lectures and talks one of
the acknowledged leaders in what is called Oxford philosophy or
ordinary language philosophy . Few would dispute that among
analytic philosophers Austin stands out as a great and original
philosophical genius. Three volumes of his writing, published after
his death, have become classics in analytical philosophy:
Philosophical Papers; Sense and Sensibilia; and How to Do Things
with Words.
First published in 1969, this book is a collection of critical
essays on Austin 's philosophy written by well-known philosophers,
many of whom knew Austin personally. A number of essays included
were especially written for this volume, but the majority have
appeared previously in various journals or books, not all easy to
obtain.
