FOREWORD

Austin. resented at a (predominantly) ~nglo-French con-

ference at Royaumont in March 1958, and the original French

text of which was published after his death in Cahiers de

Royaumont, Philosophie No. IV, La Philosophie Analytique (~es

Editions de Minuit, 1962). The editors felt in 1961 that this

piece was too closely similar in content to 'Performative

Utterances' for it to be reasonable to include both in a single

volume, and of the two preferred 'Performative Utterances'-

~artly,of course, because Austin's own English text of that

paper was available. There seems no reason now to change

that view; however, it should be noted that 'Performatif-

Constatif' is now in print, and also that it has been translated

into ~nglish(by G. J. Warnock, in Philosophy and Ordinary

Language, edited by C. E. Caton, University of ~llinoisPress,

of the two papers now added to this collection, 'C;.Ya~6v

and

in the Ethics of Aristotle' is much the earlier in date.

~t was written before 1939, when ~richard,on whose views it

comments, was still alive; but it was not published then, and

there is no reason to think that in later years Austin intended

that it should be, though he made in it certain changes and

additions. That is largely why it was not included in the original

edition of this book; another factor was that its text was im-

~erfect

in some passages. However, it has now appeared very

fittingly in the collection Aristotle, edited by J. M. E. Moravcsik

(~oibleda~,

New York, 1967: Macmillan, London, 1968),

and should now be included with Austin's other ~ublished

papers. 'Three Ways of Spilling Ink' is a rather different case,

SINCE 1961, when ust tin's Philosophicul Papers was first pub-

lished, three further papers by him have appeared in print.

Two of these are included in this new edition, and are further

mentioned below. The third is 'Performatif-Constatif', which

since, as the introductory note to that paper explains, Austin's

- - -

manuscript was obviously unfinished and incomplete. Pro-

fessor Forguson, however, found it possible to produce a text

which, though certainly rough, is both authentic and intelli-

gible; and since it adds valuably to ust tin's previously available

papers, publication seemed justified. This piece appeared in the

Philosophical Review in October 1966. In each case we are

grateful for permission to reprint.

In the present volume, then, all Austin's previously pub-

- -

lished papers are included with the exception of 'Performatif-

Constatif'-perhaps we should mention also his reviews, and

two short notes on nabi is competitions (Analysi~, vol. xii,

No. 6, 1952 and vol. xviii, No. 5, 1958). 'Ifs and Cans' (1956)

was published in the Proceedings of the British Academy. 'A Plea

for Excuses' was his Presidential Address to the Aristotelian

Society in 1956. 'How to Talk-some simple ways' (1953) was

also published in the Proceedings ofthe Aristotelian Society. 'Are

There A Priori Concepts ?' (1939), 'Other ~inds'(1946),

'Truth' (1950)~and 'pretending' (1958) were all contributions

to symposia ofJoint Sessions of the ~ind

Association and the

~ristotelianSociety, and were published in the Supplementary

Volumes of the Proceedings ofthe Aristotelian Society. We thank

the editors for permission to reprint.

Three further papers appeared for the first time in the first

edition of this book. 'The Meaning of a Word' was read to

the Moral Sciences Club in Cambridge and to the Jowett

Society in Oxford in 1940. 'Unfair to Facts' was read to the

Philosophical Society in Oxford in 1954, and is a sequel to

Austin's symposium on Truth, with P. F. Strawson and D. R.

Cousin, in 1950. 'Performative Utterances' is a transcript, with

minor verbal corrections, of an unscripted talk delivered in

the Third Programme ofthe B.B.C. in 1956, and our thanks are

due to the British Broadcasting Corporation for their permis-

sion to publish it here.

All the papers in this volume are now arranged in chrono-

- -

logical order of composition-on the suppos~tion,where it

applies, that that was the same as the order of their public

presentation in print or otherwise.
