First Sentence

The English philosopher J. L. Austin, who initiated speech-act research and introduced the term "performative," began by demystifying-in a thoroughly Nietzschean manner, moreover-the illusion upheld by the history of philosophy according to which the only thing at stake in language is its "truth" or "falsity."
