Whitehead and the Pittsburgh School: Preempting the Problem of
Intentionality proposes a revisionary history of the relationship
between Alfred North Whitehead and analytic philosophy, as well as
a constructive proposal for how thinking with Whitehead can help
disabuse analytic philosophy of the problem of intentionality. Lisa
Landoe Hedrick defines "analytic" philosophy as primarily the
intellectual tradition that runs from Gottlob Frege to Bertrand
Russell to Wilfrid Sellars, or, geographically speaking, from
Vienna to Cambridge to Pittsburgh between the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. As key members of the Pittsburgh School of
philosophy, Robert Brandom and John McDowell pick up the Sellarsian
project of reconciling nature and normativity in different ways,
yet each of them presupposes a problematic relationship between
language and the world precisely bequeathed to them by an implicit
metaphysics of subjecthood that characterized analytic thinkers of
the early twentieth century. Hedrick both investigates Whitehead's
published and archived critiques of early analytic thought-as an
extension of a wider critique of modern philosophy-and employs
Whitehead to reimagine nature and normativity after the problem of
intentionality by way of his aesthetics of symbolism. This book
thereby builds upon a burgeoning effort among philosophers to
interface process and analytic thought, but it is the first to
focus on contemporary analytic thinkers.
