Randy Ramal argues that philosophers have a hermeneutical
responsibility to the intelligibility of everyday life.
Furthermore, they need to go the hard way to fulfill it, which
entails overcoming the temptation to turn philosophy into a
normative discipline, while also appreciating the need to limit the
philosopher's engagement with the world to explicating the coherent
sense that everyday life has, and to recovering that sense when
life's intelligibility is challenged by unwarranted skepticism. In
On Philosophy, Intelligibility, and the Ordinary: Going the Bloody
Hard Way, the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead is central to
Ramal's endeavor to demonstrate the need to separate the
hermeneutical responsibility of philosophy from the normative
aspects of responsibility. While showing the futility of labeling
Whitehead as a purely disinterested philosopher who abandons the
idea that ordinariness is relevant to good philosophical thinking,
Ramal frames this discussion within a larger, in-depth engagement
with a vast number of thinkers, philosophers, and literary figures
whose works touch on the question of the ordinary. The latter
include Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the empiricists, Kierkegaard,
Wittgenstein, J.L. Austin, Anthony Flew, the Ideal-Language
philosophers, Jacques Derrida, Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell,
Hilary Putnam, Cora Diamond, Peter Singer, Michel de Certeau,
Stanley Rosen, Richard Dawkins, J.M. Coetzee, and David Foster
Wallace.
