Linguistic turn in the philosophy: Grammatical version

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the “grammatical” turn in the philosophy of mind toward the logic and the philosophy of language, which stem from the philosophical logic of G. Frege and L. Wittgenstein. Because of the works of V. Descombes, who practices the grammatical method in the philosophy, the main trend in the development of French philosophy of mind after the “grammatical turn” is revealt. It is an attempt to renew philosophy on holistic grounds and to return to the problems of the philosophy of action. The article demonstrates that Descombes’s criticism of the subject of the reflexive philosophy, as well as his statements on the nature of mentality, remain exclusively within grammatical argument. Hence, they do not employ schemes and concepts of the epistemological philosophy. The ground is provided to demonstrate the main lesson of the linguistic turn in its grammatical reading. The lesson is that of a shift from the mentalistic philosophy of mind towards the social and practical philosophy of mind.
