Abstract

Rachael Wiseman has argued that we cannot make sense of G.E.M. Anscombe’s Intention unless we recognise that it is an “exemplification of [Wittgenstein’s] grammatical investigation”. While Wiseman is alive to the Wittgensteinian nature of Anscombe’s method, and to her deep Wittgensteinian sympathies, she is not preoccupied with the question of influence. This is the question I am concerned with in the current paper. I argue that in focusing on the concept of intention, Anscombe was homing in on a pivotal concept in Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, and that most of the basic elements of her account were being worked out by Wittgenstein during the period when she was his pupil. However, as Anscombe worked through Wittgenstein’s idea’s afresh, in her own more systematic and analytic mode of philosophical investigation, she often cast ideas that were sometimes merely nascent in Wittgenstein’s work in a new light. Moreover, some of her most seminal ideas had their origin in concerns which she did not share with Wittgenstein and were entirely original to her.
维特根斯坦和安斯库姆的意图
蕾切尔·怀斯曼(Rachael Wiseman)认为,除非我们认识到G.E.M. Anscombe的意图是“(维特根斯坦)语法研究的例证”,否则我们无法理解它。虽然怀斯曼对安斯库姆方法的维特根斯坦本质以及她对维特根斯坦的深切同情充满了活力,但她并没有全神贯注于影响的问题。这是我在本文中所关注的问题。我认为,在关注意图的概念时,安斯库姆瞄准了维特根斯坦后期哲学中的一个关键概念,她的描述中的大多数基本要素都是维特根斯坦在她还是他的学生时提出的。然而,当安斯库姆重新研究维特根斯坦的思想时,在她自己更系统和分析的哲学研究模式下,她经常以新的眼光看待维特根斯坦的作品中有时仅仅是新生的想法。此外,她的一些最具开创性的想法源于她与维特根斯坦没有共同关注的问题,完全是她自己原创的。
