La larga sombra del platonismo semántico, Parte III
Ilustraciones adicionales, tomadas de una colección de ensayos clásicos
Resumen
El presente artículo es la tercera parte de una trilogía dedicada a analizar la influencia del platonismo semántico en la filosofía del lenguaje contemporánea. En la Parte I (Picazo 2021) puse las bases de esta discusión, examinando una variedad de rastros típicos del platoniso en la teoría semántica desde Frege. En la Parte II (Picazo 2021a) aporté ilustraciones adicionales de tales rastros, a partir de una colección de ensayos sobre filosofía del lenguaje encargados recientemente para un volumen recopilatorio (Schantz 2012). Esta tercera parte está dedicada a recopilar más ilustraciones de dichos rastros, tomadas de una colección de ensayos clásicos sobre el tema: el libro Modern Philosophy of Language, editado por Maria Baghramian en 1998. Así, describiremos un manojo de ejemplos en los se palpa la influencia del platonismo semántico en estos ensayos. Entre ellos destacan la confusión entre oraciones y proposiciones (y confusiones similares), la actitud evitativa respecto a aspectos básicos del significado lingüístico, el uso desmesurado de la metodología analítica para la investigación semántica, la asunción de una metafísica platónica de significados como telón de fondo, y la reacción excesiva contra el platonismo o concepciones cercanas, demostrando una influencia inversa («por oposición») de tales concepciones.
