The other day — actually, the other year — I couldn't find an offprint from an article I wrote when I was still an academic. So, last month I tracked it down in Harvard's Widener Library and made a photocopy. Now I've posted it. It's called "Austin's Flying Arrow: A Missing Metaphysics of Language and World," published in Man and World, 1984, vol 17, pp 175-195. It's an appreciation of John Austin from a Heideggerian point of view, and I think it tries to point out that the delightful Austin's ideas about language harbor a hidden metaphysics, but I'm not sure because when I went to read it a couple of days ago I couldn't get all the way through it. So why post it? 1. In case someone else wants to try reading it. 2. So I won't have to talk back through Fort Widener to track it down again. The PDF is here, and there's an unedited, nonsensical character-mis-recognized html version here. [Tags: austin heidegger philosophy] Posted
