Description:
This is an excellent anthology on the life and work of the Oxford Ordinary Language philosopher J.L. Austin. The topics covered include conditionals, abilities, truth, assertions, speech acts & sense data.
Articles are by Chisholm, Searle, Bennett, Cavell, Pears, Firth, White, and others; and there is also a symposium discussion with Quine, Urmson, and Hampshire. ( I would particularly recommend Bennett's and New's articles for their telling critiques of Austin's method of OLP.)
26 articles, extensive bibliography, photo frontispiece, 484 pp., cloth with dj, Fine. Routledge 1979. Long out of print and hard to locate.
