题目: How not to end philosophy: Wittgenstein and naturalism

时间:2016年10月25日(周二) 下午3点10分-6点
地点:北大一教105
主讲人:Martin Stokhof (University of Amsterdam)

摘要: Naturalism poses a challenge to many disciplines in the humanities, but for philosophy it appears to be particularly pressing. One place where this becomes apparent is in the debate on Wittgenstein’s meta-philosophy. Although the issue is not often discussed explicitly, a particular form of naturalism seems to inform various parties in that debate, viz., scientism. This strong form of naturalism poses a special challenge to philosophy.  In this talk we will investigate whether Wittgenstein’s later work offers a possibility for meeting the challenge in a way that leaves room for substantial philosophy. We will argue that in his analysis of certainty, religious belief, and aesthetic experience Wittgenstein employs a notion of content that is in line with moderate naturalistic assumptions, yet avoids the challenge that scientism poses.
