Austin's Ordinary Language Philosophy as Cultural Criticism Michael J. Golec In his hands, philosophy seemed at once more serious, and more fun. --G. J. Warnock, John Langshaw Austin Cultural Appropriation G. J. Warnock's assessment of the British philosopher J. L. Austin's contribution to philosophy -- both fun and serious -- directly precedes his too brief account of Austin's appreciation of America. The proximity of these two accounts in Warnock's biographical "sketch" suggests that Austin's special brand of philosophy and the welcoming ambience of the United States are related. Warnock's account is "too brief" because Austin's relationship to the United States and its culture has been too little studied, if at all. Certainly, there are the recollections of his American students who recall Austin's impact on their studies and future careers. To date, the American philosopher Stanley Cavell has been the most vocal in his indebtedness to Austin's contribution to his own "voice" in philosophy."
