Abstract

Abstract:Contenders for serious, let alone worthwhile, philosophical works consisting entirely of jokes are hard to find. Tom Stoppard's comedy Dogg's Hamlet, built from the materials of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, might be one. Wittgenstein could only use previously acquired language to argue that social performance is a necessary prerequisite for the process of learning that meaningful language in the first place. But Stoppard's audiences can experience the inadequacy of a static, constative theory of language; then they can self-consciously undergo a socialized process of meaningful language acquisition. And that new language allows new jokes; so: did Stoppard put the wit into Wittgenstein?

斯托帕德的哲学考察；或者，维特根斯坦的《多格的哈姆雷特》

摘要：严肃的，更不用说有价值的，完全由笑话组成的哲学作品很难找到竞争者。汤姆·斯托帕德（Tom Stoppard）根据路德维希·维特根斯坦（Ludwig Wittgenstein）的《哲学调查》（Philosophy Investigations）素材创作的喜剧《多格的哈姆雷特》（Dogg’s Hamlet）可能就是其中之一。维特根斯坦只能用先前习得的语言来论证，社会表现首先是学习有意义语言的必要前提。但斯托帕德的观众可以体验到静态、持续的语言理论的不足；然后他们可以自觉地经历一个有意义的语言习得的社会化过程。这种新的语言允许新的笑话；那么：斯托帕德把智慧运用到维特根斯坦身上了吗？

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
