I came across this chart on FB, and it’s not a bad description of analytic philosophy when it existed (except, of course, the image next to Kripke is not Kripke!):
Thanks. Great introduction for a lay beginner.
The image next to Quine is not Quine, either, although at least it bears some resemblance to him, unlike the Kripke-image and Kripke.
Like the image next to Kripke’s name, that is in fact not an image of G. E. Moore, either.
And the image of eyeglasses in the linguistic turn panel are not eyeglasses. (oh wait, I thought we were playing at being Magritte.)
The image next to Wittgenstein is actually John Turturro saying ‘If pasta could talk, I’d understand it’.–On a lighter note: has there ever been a more wrong-headed and self-impoverishing intellectual move than the linguistic turn? Asking for Peirce, Husserl, Bergson, Whitehead, Lukács, Dewey, and Merleau-Ponty.
More wrongheaded? “Phenomenology”, perhaps.
We are all agreed that this is AI-generated, right?
