Abstract
In this paper, I will focus on the notion of relational practices starting from the analysis of some of G.E.M. Anscombe’s contributions. The aim is to provide a broader and clearer framework of the concept of relationality and its grammar, moving from Anscombe’s philosophical approach. The goal is to discuss the notion of relationality, beginning by dialoging with a selection of recent literature on the author. According to the perspective of this study, a reading of the author oriented from a relational point of view provides tools to investigate the theme of relationality and broadens its understanding within the human form of life. This proposal aims to provide an introduction to this subject and is committed to providing a conceptual framework for it to be further discussed.
Of particular interest is the introduction, starting from this Anscombean framework, of the notion of shadow-implications linked to that of relationality. I will start by introducing Anscombe’s grammatical method, discussing a selection of recent literature (1 and 1.1), and then I will discuss it concerning Anscombe’s On Brute Facts (2). Next, I will focus on the kind of background that is at stake (2.1), the way we learn a concept (2.2), and the context of our institutions (2.3). Following, I will attempt to examine the notion of relational practices (3) regarding the relationship between the different descriptions of our actions (3.1), the possible answers to the question Why? (3.2), and the risks related to the relational dimension, i.e., its shadow-implications (3.3).
