Annotation

Critical discussion of B. Mates' criticism of 'ordinary language philosophy'. Mates' arguments are said to be on the whole irrelevant to the concerns of the ordinary language philosophers. To show this, C. has to say something about what he takes to be the significance of proceeding, in one's philosophizing, from what one ordinarily says and means.
