Praised for its clarity, wit, and meticulous writing, this 1964 book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by philosophical problems. Reconstructed from the manuscript notes of G.J. Warnock, it offers a profound critique of sense-datum theories of perception and challenges the foundational assumptions of epistemology. Austin's insightful analysis reveals how many philosophical issues arise from misunderstandings of everyday language, dissolving pseudo-problems and mistaken doctrines with precision and care. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or new to the field, this book's engaging and readable style makes complex ideas accessible and thought-provoking. Dive into a world where careful word analysis leads to profound philosophical insights and discover why this book is highly recommended by critics and readers alike.

Industry Reviews

"An excellent book presenting many of the major issues of ordinary language philosophy--very readable."--Mark Hamilton, Ashland University "The clarity, the wit, and the patience of the writing are liable to deceive the reader on only one point, namely the amount of hard work that lies behind these thoughts....This book is the one to put into the hands of those who have been over-impressed by Austin's critics....[Warnock's] brilliant editing puts everybody who is concerned with philosophical problems in his debt."--The Guardian "An excellent book presenting many of the major issues of ordinary language philosophy--very readable."--Mark Hamilton, Ashland University "The clarity, the wit, and the patience of the writing are liable to deceive the reader on only one point, namely the amount of hard work that lies behind these thoughts....This book is the one to put into the hands of those who have been over-impressed by Austin's critics....[Warnock's] brilliant editing puts everybody who is concerned with philosophical problems in his debt."--The Guardian
