This document summarizes the philosophies of John Austin and John Locke regarding language. John Austin analyzed language use and introduced the concept of speech acts, distinguishing locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. He argued that statements are not solely true or false, but also depend on context like intentions and understandings. John Locke viewed language and knowledge as tools for living rather than just speculation. He argued that probable knowledge is still useful, and that revelations cannot produce the same certainty as direct experience. Both philosophers emphasized understanding ordinary language use and its relationship to truth, knowledge, and human affairs.
