These approaches typically involve eschewing philosophical "theories" in favour of close attention to the details of the use of everyday, "ordinary" language. They are generally associated w/ the later work of Ludwig Wittgenstein & the works of Gilbert Ryle, J.L. Austin, Peter Strawson, & Norman Malcolm.
