  • From Bühler to Wittgenstein1 Kevin Mulligan
    On Being Guided, Signals & Rules: from Bühler to Wittgenstein1 Kevin Mulligan (Università della Svizzera italiana & Istituto di studi filosofici, Lugano) Abstract. Kevin Mulligan has examined in several papers and a book the conceptual relations between the descriptions of mind, language and colours in the philosophies of Brentano’s heirs and the descriptions given later by Wittgenstein. In Chapter 12, he looks at what Bühler and Wittgenstein have to say about the phenomenon of being guided by something and two of their favourite examples – reading and our relations to rules. §1 A Guide to Guidance §2 Reading & Guidance §3 Misleading Pictures & Pianolas: Machines & Modality, Rules & Rigidity §4 Early Bühler & Early Wittgenstein on Rule-Awareness §1 A Guide to Guidance Appearances, demonstratives, facts, knowledge, name tags, people, perceptions, pictures (misleading or not), quotation marks, 1 Versions of the material in this paper were presented most recently in Liège (2018 “On Being Guided: Bühler in the Brown Book” and in Vienna (2013). I am grateful to the audiences for their comments. Thanks, too, to Peter Simons for help with engineering terminology. rules, street signs, traffic signals, utterances, written signs, and many, many other things guide, lead, steer, control and influence us. In the writings of Brentano’s heirs and Wittgenstein, we find many verbs for such relations: trigger/auslösen follow/befolgen steer, control/steuern influence/beinflussen guide, lead/führen allow oneself to be led by/sich leiten lassen indicate/anzeigen The philosophers of guidance are Martinak, Marty and Ahlman, Husserl and Scheler, Bühler and Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein and his great predecessor, Bühler, sometimes use the term “signal” (Signal) for the first term of the relation of guidance2.

  • 2011 Graduate School
    Scientific Programme Postgraduate Course “Fundamentality and Perspectivality” Fundamentality and perspectivality in the philosophies of mind and world Philipp Keller, Kevin Mulligan, Gianfranco Soldati, Fabrice Correia May the world be fundamentally perspectival? For centuries, many people, in- and outside of philosophy have been attracted by this idea, but no systematic theory has ever been worked out. Within contemporary academic philosophy, the very idea is quickly dismissed, most of the time, as a form of relativism. Recent work in metaphysics and the philosophies of mind and language has put into question this assumption: in very different contexts, it has been maintained that perspectival phenomena may be metaphysically fundamental. The aim of the present postgraduate course is to pursue these questions, within an educational framework designed to maximise the academic benefits of the participating PhD students, most of which are part of the recently re-launched pro*doc programme „Metaphysics of the Mind“, with the activities of which the course will be closely linked. The research programme of this postgraduate course brings together two important strands in current philosophical research: the metaphysical problem of how to characterise the concept of fundamentality, which has important ramifications in the philosophy of physics, and the epistemological problem of how to account for the perspectivality of our knowledge of the world, of much current interest in the philosophy of mind, language and perception. These two strands correspond to two research projects currently being pursued at eidos, the Genevan Centre for Metaphysics. Topics of the workshops Traditionally, the concept of fundamentality has been taken to be a modal notion: what is fundamental is what does not, and cannot change, what forms the necessary framework within which contingent events take place.

How do they stand to one another, how are they connected ? The question was addressed before Wittgenstein by the realist phenomenologists, Scheler, Hartmann and Ortega as well as by the Viennese philosopher and psychologist, Karl Bühler. Like Wittgenstein, these philosophers were quite clear that the category to which meaning belongs and the category to which belong the senses of individual propositions cover a great variety of cases and that a form of life has many dimensions. Language is only one of the phenomena which go to make up human life (cf. RFM VI) or culture. The acts and activities of a person are one thing, the acts and activities of interacting persons another thing and the contents of both yet another thing.

  • Franz Brentano on the Ontology of Mind Kevin Mulligan and Barry Smith
    Franz Brentano on the Ontology of Mind Kevin Mulligan and Barry Smith Preprint version of a review of Franz Brentano’s Deskriptive Psychologie (Hamburg: Meiner, 1982), published in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 45 (1985), 627–44. Franz Brentano’s ‘philosophy of mind’ still means, as far as most philoso- phers are concerned, no more than a peculiarly influential account of inten- tionality. In fact, in his Psychology from an Empirical Standpoint, Bren- tano has provided an account of mental phenomena which ranks with any to be found in the literature of philosophy. It differs as much from the concept- centered Kantian approaches to ‘reason’ or ‘understanding’ as from more re- cent approaches, centred on the language used to report or to ex- press ’propositional attitudes’, in being an ontology of mind, concerned with the description of the entities which are involved in mental experience and of the relations between them. With the posthumous publication of a series of lectures given in Vienna in 1890-911 we now possess a clear account of the ontology, and of the meth- ods, underlying Brentano’s numerous and subtle descriptions of mental phe- nomena, at least at one highly fruitful stage in his career. What follows is a detailed exposition of this work, together with a brief critical coda. It is divided into the following parts: 1. Descriptive Psychology 1.1 Descriptive vs. Genetic Psychology 1.2 Epistemology of Descriptive Psychology 2. Noticing, or: The Method of Descriptive Psychology 1Deskriptive Psychologie, ed. R. M. Chisholm and W. Baumgartner (Hamburg: Meiner, 1982.) pp. xxvi + 189.

  • 1 What's Wrong with Contemporary Philosophy? Kevin Mulligan, Peter
    Pre-print version of an article to appear in a special number of TOPOI, “Philosophy – What is How is it possible for so many analytic philosophers to pursue philosophy in a more or less to be done ?” rigorous and always theoretical way and yet believe neither that philosophy can be a science nor that it can add to the stock of positive human knowledge? Sometimes this combination is What’s Wrong with Contemporary Philosophy? due to a conviction that philosophy can never be other than aporetic. Sometimes it is due to Kevin Mulligan, Peter Simons and Barry Smith the belief that philosophy can aspire at most to negative results. Sometimes it is due to the belief that philosophy’s final goal is not theoretical – however much theory may enter in I along the way – but practical, for example, therapeutic. Sometimes it is due to caution; sometimes to self-deception; and sometimes to the insidious influence of Kant. Philosophy in the West now divides into three parts – Analytic Philosophy, Continental Philosophy and History of Philosophy. II Analytic Philosophy (AP), although it comes in many varieties, has four striking properties. Perhaps the most striking illustration of these claims is provided by the fields of metaphysics First, it is cultivated with every appearance of theoretical rigour. Second, its practitioners do and ontology which, with logic, constitute the heart of theoretical philosophy. Although not, by and large, believe that philosophy is or can be a science, i.e., they do not believe that metaphysics and ontology have always been part of philosophy, and are perhaps more popular it can add to the stock of positive human knowledge.

  • Austrian and Hungarian Philosophy: on the Logic of Wittgenstein and Pauler
    Chapter 26 Austrian and Hungarian Philosophy: On the Logic of Wittgenstein and Pauler Barry Smith Abstract As Kevin Mulligan, more than anyone else, has demonstrated, there is a distinction within the philosophy of the German-speaking world between two principal currents: of idealism or transcendentalism, characteristic of Northern Ger- many, on the one hand; and of realism or objectivism, characteristic of Austria and the South, on the other. We explore some of the implications of this distinction with reference to the influence of Austrian (and German) philosophy on philosophical developments in Hungary, focusing on the work of Ákos von Pauler, and especially on Pauler’s reading of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. Keywords Austrian philosophy · Wittgenstein · Lukács · Picture theory of meaning 26.1 Austrian Philosophy In a series of extraordinarily fertile essays (cf. Mulligan 1981, 1986, 1989, 1993, 2001, 2006a, 2006b, 2011a, 2011b, 2012), Kevin Mulligan has demonstrated not merely that there is a distinction within the philosophy of the German-speaking world between the transcendentalism of the North and the realism of the South (comprising, roughly, Bavaria and the Habsburg lands) but also that paying atten- tion to this distinction can yield fruitful consequences for our understanding of twentieth-century philosophy in general and of the rise of analytic philosophy in particular. It would of course be going too far to suggest that there is any one system of thought properly to be called “Austrian philosophy” which would unite all of those thinkers, from Bolzano and Wittgenstein to Gödel and Popper, born within the frontiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is however clear that there are certain tendencies which these philosophers exhibit to varying degrees, tendencies which set them in contrast to their Northern contemporaries in something like the way in which (for example) those who read Musil (or Kafka) are set apart from, say, admir- ers of Thomas Mann.

    Grazer Philosophische Studien 91 (2015), 365–408. ON HAVING A PROPERTY. CORRIGENDA IN BOLZANO’S WISSENSCHAFTSLEHRE.1 Wolfgang KÜNNE University of Hamburg Summary Th e hard core of Bolzano’s conception of truth can be captured by the following biconditional: a non-compound non-quantifi ed one-place predication expresses a true proposition (Satz an sich) if, and only if, the object that is referred to in that predication (really) has the property that is predicated of it. Th us the proposition that is expressed by the sentences ‘Socrates is courageous’, ‘Socrate est courageux’, ‘Sokrates ist mutig’ and many others is true just in case Socrates has courage. In this paper I shall focus on the sense of two words that occur not only in my characterization of the hard core of Bolzano’s conception of truth but also in his own analysis (Erklärung) of this notion; namely, the sense of ‘has (hat)’ and the sense of ‘property (Beschaff enheit)’. 1. Let us begin with the three-letter word. In his logic Bolzano makes exten- sive use of the schemata ‘A has (small-) b’ and ‘A is (capital-) B’. Whenever 1. When I met Peter Simons for the fi rst time (as one of three British philosophers who shared an infectious enthusiasm for what they called Austrian philosophy), he was a Lecturer at a place called the Bolton Institute of Technology, so this was at a very early stage of his academic career. After our fi rst meeting in England, I received numerous beautiful handwritten letters on numbers and manifolds; he apparently did not mind my typewritten responses, and very soon we became friends.

  • Intentionality, Knowledge and Formal Objects
    Intentionality, knowledge and formal objects Kevin Mulligan Université de Genéve Abstract What is the relation between the intentionality of states and attitudes which can miss their mark, such as belief and desire, and the intentional- ity of acts, states and attitudes which cannot miss their mark, such as the different types of knowledge and simple seeing? Two theories of the first type of intentionality, the theory of correctness conditions and the the- ory of satisfaction conditions, are compared. It is argued that knowledge always involves knowledge of formal objects such as facts and values, that emotions are reactions to (apparently) known values and that beliefs are reactions to known or apparently known facts or to the objects of relational states. 1. Intentionality1 Any philosophy of intentionality, of the property peculiar to mental acts, states and activities of being ‘directed’ towards or about some- thing, should contain many chapters. It should provide an account of the different mental acts, states and activities. It should provide an analysis of the relations and other ties hiding behind the metaphor of directedness. And it should provide an account of the sorts of things mental acts, states and activities are directed towards. A philosophy of intentionality should, further, tell us about the intentionality of all the main types of mental states, acts and activities. It should tell us, at the very least, about the intentionality of acquaintance, admiration, attention, belief that, belief in, certainty, choice, deliberation, desire, doubt, expectation, hate, hope, imagination, judge- 1 An earlier version of this paper appeared in an electronic Festschrift: Hommage à Wlodek.
