Informality and Philosophy: A Response to Margolis

Author:
McHugh, Fergal  


Journal:
CONTEMPORARY PRAGMATISM


Issue Date:
2016


Abstract(summary):

Joseph Margolis argues that philosophy must acknowledge its radical informality. I provide a brief account of what Margolis means by informality and its consequences for the practice of a pragmatist philosophy. I discuss his criticism of Robert Brandom's analytic pragmatism on the grounds that it overemphasizes the potential gains of a formal approach. I highlight two concerns with Margolis' insistence on informality recommending a reduced emphasis on the consequences of informality for the pragmatist philosopher.
