Georgiy Filatov and Maxim Evstigneev gave a joint talk entitled "Three Metaphors of Analysis in the Works of G. Ryle, L. Wittgenstein, P. F. Strawson" at the workshop "From the Logical Point of View", which took place on March 22.

Abstract

The talk is aimed to uncover the concept of "analysis" in the philosophy of three classics of "analytical philosophy": G. Ryle, L. Wittgenstein,  P. F. Strawson.We consider this concept from, perhaps, a somewhat unexpected angle. We are not interested in the doctrine of philosophical analysis itself in the works of these philosophers, but rather in the unpacking of which metaphors it is explained.Thus, the analysis is compared with the construction of a concept map, the compilation of a grammar textbook and psychoanalytic or psychotherapy. The first metaphor belongs primarily to Ryle, the second to Strawson, and the third to Wittgenstein. Although, in one way or another each of the authors addresses all three of them. During our joint presentation we are going show how the unpacking of these metaphors results in three philosophical projects that differ in technique, style and purpose.The report is based on the results of our work in the project group "Philosophy of Metaphors and Metaphors in Philosophy" (https://phc.hse.ru/metaphor /).
