Chapter 7 from Sense and Sensibilia. A classic illustration of his philosophy, debunking the party line in armchair, academic philosophy on the meaning of the word "real." This essay is suited more for philosophy majors than for the general public, I think. Austin was a smart man, a great writer, and an under-appreciated philosopher. I saw a list online that ranked the top philosophers of the past 200 years. Austin was #22. He is one of my favorites of all time. A great person to discuss any problem in philosophy with, along with Wittgenstein, I imagine.
The rest of chapter 7 in Sense & Sensibilia.

Austin divided words into two categories: constatives (words that describe a situation) and performatives (words that incite action). For instance, is a "No running" sign describing your gait, or are you not running because the sign prohibits it? Colleen Glenney Boggs describes how these categorizations give power to words and, ultimately, to your actions. Lesson by Colleen Glenney Boggs, animation by Lou Webb.

Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by the School of Library, Archival, and Information Studies (SLAIS). The philosophers J. L. Austin and John Searle developed speech act theory in the twentieth century. This talk will provide a brief introduction to the theory and then explore some aspects of it that seem relevant to concepts in archival science. Mr. Yeo will focus on connections between speech act theory and a conceptualization of records as persistent representations, ideas about the role of representation in the performance of speech acts, the potential impact of speech act theory on perceptions of the record as a source of information, and/or the importance of societal conventions in understanding the affinities of records to human action. He will ar...
