Séminaire Wittgenstein 2020-2021
Retour de la philosophie du langage ordinaire
Organisé par Christiane Chauviré, Bruno Ambroise, Pierre Fasula et Sandra Laugier
Lieu: Sorbonne, Université Paris 1, UFR de philosophie, 17, rue de la Sorbonne, Paris 5e, escalier C, 1er étage, droite, salle Lalande
Le séminaire Wittgenstein est consacré au retour à l’avant-scène philosophique du XXIe siècle de la « philosophie du langage ordinaire », entendue non seulement comme l’étude de ses acteurs principaux (Wittgenstein, Austin, Hart, Strawson, Ryle, Cavell) mais aussi comme l’élaboration à partir de ces auteurs d’une version d’un paradigme alternatif en philosophie du langage et en théorie des actes de parole. Récemment, des ouvrages (Avner Baz, Sandra Laugier, Toril Moi) et numéros de revue (GFPJ, Inquiry) ont affirmé l’actualité renouvelée des méthodes de Wittgenstein et d’Austin, revenant ainsi sur les critiques de Gellner, Katz, Fodor, Geach, Grice au XXe siècle, mais aussi sur les lectures de Searle et Grice qui ont réduit la théorie des actes de langage à une version de la sémantique. La philosophie du langage ordinaire, longtemps négligée, réapparaît dans de nombreux domaines de recherche dynamiques : droit, critique sociale, études de genre, théorie littéraire et linguistique, économie, arts, études cinématographiques… Et au cœur de la philosophie du langage et de la connaissance, où elle constitue une alternative critique et réaliste à la philosophie analytique et anglophone mainstream.

The series, established in 2007, is published by ACADEMIA Verlag Baden Baden, a publishing house of the Beck NOMOS Group. The publishing group’s distribution network as well as English, German, French, and Italian as publication languages provide the series with excellent international visibility.
All submissions are reviewed; the editors are assisted by an international advisory board of experts on Wittgenstein’s work.

Wittgenstein, Nature, and Religion
2nd ERB Project Workshop
Nova Institute of Philosophy (IFILNOVA)
Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities – Nova University of Lisbon (NOVA FCSH)
29 July 2020
Is it right to think, as Daniel Dennett does, of religion as a natural phenomenon? Is religion to be explained in terms of evolutionary theory and cognitive science? Or should we perhaps explain it in cultural, economic, or philosophical terms? Are each of these kinds of explanations of religion legitimate? Are they in competition with each other? These are the kinds of questions that we hope to shed some light on in our Zoom workshop by examining cognitive science of religion and naturalistic understandings of religion in the light of Wittgenstein’s work.
