RUFFINO, Marco. Some Remarks about Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra’s Advice on the Language of Philosophy. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2013, vol.45, n.133, pp.99-105.  Epub 19-Mar-2020. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2013.728.

In this paper I discuss Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra’s notes on the proper language for publishing texts in analytic philosophy. I am basically in agreement with him on the practical side, i.e., publishing in English increases the chances of philosophical exchange with other communities. I disagree, however, if one wants to read a stronger “should” in his advice, for there is nothing in the essence of analytic philosophy that ties it to the English language. Finally, I end with a caveat that his advice should not be misunderstood and degenerate into an exhortation of what I call “linguistic laziness”.

Palavras-chave : analytic philosophy; dialog; criticism; linguistic laziness; history of analytic philosophy.
