Language Games, Knowledge,
Rationality, Agency and Meaning
I sketch what I think a
dispositional model involves; then consider Kripke’s dismissal of dispositional
explanations in the context of Wittgenstein’s skeptical paradox. It seems to me
that Wittgenstein does not attempt to elude or confront skeptical conclusions.
His arguments and style of argumentation insist upon the community centered
nature of language – and, I suggest, the backdrop continuum of meaningful
experiences. This has profound implications for notions of persons, agency and
rationality.
