”INTELLECTUAL THERAPY”, CONVERSATION AND SOCIAL CHANGE. RICHARD RORTY ON PHILOSOPHY AS CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: For Rorty, Wittgenstein is a theorist of language as social practice, that is, a philosopher for whom, as Rorty interprets Wittgenstein’s critique of ostensive definition, an object is what we say about it, rather than what it is independent of what can be said about it. This paper examines the philosophical and practical arguments raised by Rorty against the idea of philosophy as conceptual analysis based on the notion of grammatical rules, conceptual confusion and nonsense in terms of the notion of language as social practice.
