Event Description

In their joint presentation “Being Known to Each Other”, James Conant (Chicago) and Matthias Haase (Chicago) will argue that the fundamental case of the second person relation between persons partakes of a logically distinctive form. In the recent literature, skepticism about other minds is often treated on analogy with skepticism about knowledge of the external world. In this paper Conant and Haase argue that this is mistaken: knowledge of other minds differs from knowledge of external objects not merely in content, but also in form. This formal difference is due to the former kind of knowledge involving a relation between persons. Τhe fundamental form of this relation exhibits logical features not present in knowledge of a mere thing, including mutual acknowledgement and reciprocal address. The latter two features are particularly emphasized in the work of Stanley Cavell.  Following his lead, Conant and Haase seek to elucidate several deep asymmetries between skepticism about the external world and skepticism about other minds. Not least of these is that the latter, unlike the former, can be lived—and hence is a form of skepticism partaking of an irreducibly existential aspect.

Event Description (in German)

Professor James Conant (University of Chicago) veranstaltet am 4.6.2025, von 14-16 Uhr, im Forschungsinstitut Brenner-Archiv ein Seminar zum Thema  »Wir kennen uns.« Grundlage des Seminars ist eine Arbeit, die er mit seinem Kollegen Matthias Haase (University of Chicago) geschriebenen hat. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Überlegungen von Ludwig Wittgenstein und Stanley Cavell zum Wissen von dem Bewusstsein anderer Personen. In der zeitgenössischen analytischen Philosophie wird Skeptizismus über die Möglichkeit des Wissens von Fremdpsychischen zumeist parallel zum Skeptizismus über die Möglichkeit des Wissens von der Außenwelt behandelt. Nach Wittgenstein und Cavell ist dies jedoch ein Fehler: Wissen vom Fremdpsychischen und Wissen von der Außenwelt unterscheiden sich nicht nur in ihrem Inhalt, sondern auch in ihrer Form. Der formale Unterschied besteht genau darin, dass letzteres Wissen ein zwischenmenschliches Verhältnis betrifft. Der paradigmatische Fall des Wissens von Anderen ist das reziproke Verhältnis zweier Personen, die einander kennen. Das Thema des Seminars ist die Untersuchung der unterschiedlichen Dimensionen dieser Asymmetrie zwischen Wissen von anderen Personen und Wissen von Gegenständen in der Welt.

Event Description (in German)

Professor James Conant (University of Chicago) und Professor Christoph König (Universität Osnabrücke / Berlin) veranstalten am 3.6.2025, von 14-16 Uhr, im Forschungsinstitut Brenner-Archiv ein Seminar zum Thema »Sagen und Zeigen bei Wittgenstein: Dichtung, Logik und Philosophie«. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Ludwig Wittgensteins Bemerkungen im Jahr 1917 Paul Engelmann gegenüber, die sich auf Ludwig Uhlands Gedicht ›Graf Eberhards Weißdorn‹ beziehen, und das Gedicht selbst. Indem Wittgenstein in diesen Bemerkungen die Begriffe Sagen, Zeigen und Unaussprechliches verwendet, die in seinem großen ersten Werk ›Tractatus logico-philosophicus‹ (1918 abgeschlossen) zentral sind, wird von den Bemerkungen über Uhlands Gedicht her der ›Tractatus‹ selbst zum Gegenstand. Es wird sich zeigen, dass die Standardauffassung, Wittgenstein wolle sagen, das Unaussprechliche sei jenseits der Sprache, seine Auffassung nicht trifft, sondern dass das nötige Zeigen vielmehr dem Sagen intern sei.

Speakers
with Lars Hertzberg (Åbo) & David G. Stern (Iowa)
Scientific Organisation and Direction: Volker A. Munz (AAU, Klagenfurt)
Program
The summer school is addressed to advanced university students in philosophy.
Elementary knowledge of Wittgenstein’s philosophy is desirable.
Applicants are asked to send a transcript record and a 3-page preparatory essay on a selected subject dealing with Wittgenstein’s last writings (particularly the terms “inner” and “outer” in Wittgenstein’s writings on philosophy of mind). Essential reading is thus:

Wittgenstein, Ludwig (1994): Last Writings on the Philosophy of Psychology, Vol. 2. The Inner and the Outer, 1949–1951. Edited by G. H. von Wright. Reprint. Oxford et al.: Blackwell.

Location
University of Klagenfurt, Lower Austria
Speakers
This is a mini seminar workshop co-taught by James Conant and David Finkelstein.
Program
The Mini-Seminar will seek to understand how my relation to my own words is wholly different from my relation to those of other people; wherein the asymmetry lies between the use of a range of verbs (such as “believe,” “know,” and “perceive”) in the first-person present indicative form and other uses of the same verbs (e.g., in the second-person or past tense form); and how the logical grammar of these verbs is related to that of expressions of emotion, of mood, and of sensation, including expressions that take the form of avowals. Finally, we will explore why Wittgenstein thinks a philosophical investigation of these three points ought to lead to an expansion and transformation of our entire conception of logic.
