Investigating Wittgenstein - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A revolutioinary interpretation of the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, this book presents an analysis of his early work in the "Tractatus" and its gradual transformation in the later philosophy of the "Investigations". The authors propose a radical interpretation of the "Tractatus" and argue that the objects of the "Tractatus" are but Russellian objects of acquaintance in disguise. Thus in the "Tractatus" Wittgenstein regarded phenomenological language as logically correct. However, in 1929, according to the authors, he abandoned the phenomenological conception of language in favour of a physicalist one and it is within this new framework that the "Philosophical Investigations" can be most fruitfully understood.
