Response to Samuel Wheeler: “Naturalist Structuralism's Aporia? Essentialism, Indeterminacy, and Nostalgia”

Paul M. Livingston works on the history of twentieth-century philosophy in both the analytic and continental traditions, and has special interests in phenomenology, philosophy of language and mind, and philosophy of science.  He has published articles on Husserl, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and Carnap, among others.  His most recent book, Philosophy and the Vision of Language (Routledge, 2008), analyzes the history and enduring implications of the “linguistic turn” in twentieth-century philosophy.
