The contrast alluded to in the title is that between what J. L. Austin called “linguistic phenomenology” (Philosophical Papers, p. 182), commonly referred to as ordinary language philosophy (= OLP), and phenomenology as founded by Edmund Husserl. “Phenomenology” is here meant to include figures like Eugen Fink, Adolf Reinach or Merleau-Ponty, but also influential secessionists like Heidegger or Derrida. The former tradition is understood as including the likes of Wittgenstein, Ryle, Alan R. White or Cavell. Contributions will either cut across the traditions or be basic in a way that makes them relevant for both of them. Husserl and Austin will be the main, but not sole, focus of the conference. At least the following issues will be touched upon:
(1) “S is p” – A Basic Structure of Judgement?
(2) The “Natural Attitude” vs. the Ordinary
(3) Transcendental Subjectivity vs. the “We” of OLP
(4) Voice and Subjectivity
(5) The Inner and the Outer
