ReplyDeleteHacker seems like an authentic philosopher. Or sounds like it, at least. I don't always agree, completely with his traditional readings of St. Witt but he's a weighty figure. His critique of Quine's naturalism a few years ago sort of...modified my thinking for a bit. That said, I don't think the ordinary language types (whether Witt. or Strawson, Toulmin, etc) did what they wanted to, or something. Doesn't mean one defends the logic choppers exactly... but in certain contexts, it's difficult to get away from proof and evidentialism (or ...formality--e.g....programming).
Toulmin seemed like a reasonable compromise to me for some time until I discovered that pro. philosophers, links oder rechts considered Toulmin....a dilettante or something--mere rhetorician. I don't think he was exactly--mo' like a pragmatist of a sort, w-o the Rortyian hype. St. Witt. also supposedly well-read in Wm James.
