J L Austin's influence on contemporary philosophy, which ranks with that of Wittgenstein, was substantial in his lifetime and has grown since his death. Philosophical Papers was the first of three books he published, extending his influence when he was at the height of his powers. This third edition includes three essays not present in earlier editions, two previously unpublished.
