The relationship between ordinary language philosophy and literary studies invites a patient attention to the words we actually use, rather than the theories we impose upon them. This site gathers resources for scholars and students exploring how thinkers like Wittgenstein, Austin, and Cavell illuminate the texture of literary language, moral experience, and the everyday forms of life that literature holds up for reflection. Whether you are working on close reading, the ethics of interpretation, or the intersections of pragmatism and poetics, the materials here—from conference announcements to shared bibliographies—are meant to support a community of inquiry that takes seriously the ordinary as a site of philosophical and literary insight.
