ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a sample of the criticisms of philosophers on the course of linguistic philosophy. It considers the present position and future prospects of philosophy. The chapter addresses the complaint that 'clarity is not enough' by teachers of philosophy. As teachers of philosophy, they have a duty to the community and it is alleged, rightly or wrongly, that they have not been doing it. The philosopher's task is to analyse the statements of science, of history and of common sense, including of course ethical statements. Hence the analytic conception of philosophy developed very naturally into a 'therapeutic' conception of it. The philosopher's job, it was said, is to cure muddles or headaches, generated by language; either by everyday language, or by the technical language of some science. The chapter expresses that the modern analytic or clarificatory philosophers are studying nothing more nor less than the theory of knowledge.
