From: "matthew piscioneri" <mpiscioneri-AT-hotmail.com> Subject: HAB: formal pragmatics Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2000 00:38:50 PST Dear List, I am a very recent member (23/3)posting in from the University of Tasmania, Australia. My doctoral research program is focusing upon Habermas's formal pragmatics specifically in the TCA. It is my intention to discuss the implications for Habermas's more global themes in the TCA, of arguing for a wholly pragmatised theory of meaning; i.e one that dispenses with a formal component. The basis of my argument will be worked out of Habermas's central employment of Wittgenstein/Austin/Searle, that i.m.o, can leave space for any Fregean/Davidsonian semantic formalism. My question is,if this line could be satisfactorily argued for; what if any are the consequences for the rest of Habermas's themes in the TCA? Regards, Matthew Piscioneri ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --- from list habermas-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
