CONCEPTS OF THE ORDINARY

Abstract

The chapter aims to show how an anthropological point of view leads to transforming philosophy, and to displacing the conceptual. To be able to think certain things, we must put ourselves in the place of certain people, have certain experiences, immerse ourselves in forms of life. Concepts are directed by our interests. They are vulnerable to experience. I propose to define a moral realism of concepts by the ability, described by Cavell and Das, to project or lose our words and concepts in new contexts and forms of life
