The William James Lectures presented Austin's conclusions in the field to which he directed his main efforts on a wide variety of philosophical problems. These talks became the classic <i>How to Do Things with Words</i>. <br><br> For this second edition, the editors have returned to Austin's original lecture notes, amending the printed text where it seemed necessary. Students will find the new text clearer, and, at the same time, more faithful to the actual lectures. An appendix contains literal transcriptions of a number of marginal notes made by Austin but not included in the text. Comparison of the text with these annotations provides new dimensions to the study of Austin's work. 324334 1955 How to Do Things with Words: Second Edition (William James Lectures) total:158|5:50|4:54|3:40|2:12|1:2| 158 612 279 20 4 0 false false Tue Jun 12 21:22:29 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 21:27:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jun 18 16:13:24 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 23:00:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Mar 01 16:59:55 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 17:01:59 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 15:53:13 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 04 16:03:36 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Aug 29 07:58:57 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 12:09:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Nov 08 19:01:29 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 16:15:39 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 05:50:37 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 00:56:39 -0800 2008 Austin writes about performatives, sentences that are more than words, that are also actions, i.e. to say 'I ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 14 15:46:18 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 14 15:59:10 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Dec 18 23:41:02 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 23:42:39 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Jan 09 17:27:57 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 17:39:32 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Sun Sep 16 10:25:43 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 12:08:36 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sun Jan 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 24 08:36:24 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 04 15:52:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 12 14:11:46 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 14:12:53 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Fri Mar 21 17:29:34 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 17:30:33 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Mar 01 17:23:55 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 17:24:53 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Mon Jun 25 20:19:41 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 29 07:55:17 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Jan 27 19:30:45 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 19:30:45 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1988 Mon Dec 31 00:57:44 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 31 00:58:23 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Sep 24 07:08:38 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 07:09:37 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Mar 12 07:54:12 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 12 15:21:04 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=333832
