- W1480522421 abstract "What if postmodernists' main message about uniqueness and idiosyncrasy of individual humans is taken seriously? What if Wittgenstein's suggestion about philosophy as critique of in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (later TLP, 4.0031) is taken seriously? Then individual humans are placed at top of diversity chain of nature in Prigoginean sense (Prigogine, 1997: 70; Gulbenkian Commission, 1996: 61). purpose of my text is show that if we consider other end of ontology, nominalism1, as only denying existence of universal concepts, as for example Dieterle (2001) does, we miss essence of nominalism, i.e., agency, and are still encased in for next hundred years. Respectively anti-positivism still needs some substance but it is too often narrowed down asymmetry of power, i.e., diversity that can actually be seen as starting point of nominalism. What is claimed is that agency is essence of both anti-positivism and nominalism. And if so, maybe we can eliminate nonsensical dichotomies and paradoxes sooner or later if we believe Wittgenstein: language disguises thought (TLP 4.002). Introduction In this account I will focus on only one theme that manifests both in texts of Wittgenstein and complexity research: ontology and subject/I/agent. It will be ponderedupon whether ontology is way that Wittgenstein paved in his Tractatus and texts before it, but backed off from, in his later writings. peculiar 'limit' of was approached from inside by Ludwig Wittgenstein and from outside by Ilya Prigogine. It is claimed that it is possible combine thoughts of both- or more correctly: keep limits of world separate from limits of language. importance of is not down-played but balanced within ontology. Do living agents use for their own purposes or does it go other way around so that dominant discourses harness agents? As postmodernists (e.g., Deetz, 1996: 194) claim distinction between subjective and objective is not an interesting rhetorical move and I would say it is even nonsensical and irrelevant: things derive from agency. definition of agent is same as in normal use of language: one who moves in self-ruling ways and sets things in motion. It seems that in social sciences many researchers deny 'agent', and in complexity research, models are rule-based, not agent-based and stochastic. When prominent scholars like Nicos Mouzelis explicitly eschew ontology of humans it makes me curious. Mouzelis (1995:9) has considered it wise to keep clear of type of theorizing as the ontological nature of social, and Hosking (1999: 118) warns ontology-oriented researchers that risk becoming lousy philosophers and seriously dubious social Is there in social sciences an area that researchers should avoid? Why? answer is: confusion as understanding of ontology by philosophers and, thereupon, by social scientists. answer was easy find but here it is more interesting follow track its origin. It seems that origin is in Wittgenstein (TLP 5.6): The limits of my mean limits of my world. However, use of words (propositions) was no problem Wittgenstein. But in Metaphysics Aristotle creates definite universals that constitute real entities: this is origin of linguistic turn, a topic that is fully explained in a forth-coming dissertation (Muhonen, 2008). ontological peculiarity of was manifest already in sentence of Wittgenstein: he does not say that limits of my are limits of my world, but they mean them. Mixing meanings that people produce with existence is core issue of ontology. Obviously anticipating problems deriving from this statement he opened a backdoor in his last paragraph (TLP 6.54): throw away ladder ... see world aright! With ladder he meant his own propositions. …" @default.
