Paperback. Zustand: Good. This is the second volume of David Pears's acclaimed study of Wittgenstein's philosophy from the Notebooks and the Tractatus to Philosophical Investigations and other later writings. Dealing with writings from 1929 onward, Volume II provides close discussions of those doctrines and ideas that reveal the general overall structure of Wittgenstein's thought. Designed to fill the gap in the secondary literature between brief introductions and long commentaries, The False Prison relates the general to the particular within a clearly delineated framework, making Wittgenstein's difficult thought more accessible to philosophy students and nonspecialists.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is the second of two volumes which describe the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy from the "Notebooks" and the "Tractatus" to "Philosophical Investigations" and his other later writings. This volume covers his later philosophy from 1929 onwards. It traces two lines of thought, one starting from the treatment of solipsism in the "Tractatus" and the other developing out of the early theory of language proposed in that book. The work as a whole is designed to fill a gap in the literature on Wittgenstein, and the doctrines and ideas chosen for close discussion are those which the author believes reveal the general structure of Wittgenstein's thought. Pears aims to relate the general to the particular within a clearly delineated framework, thereby hoping to make Wittgenstein more accessible to students of philosophy and to non-specialists. Volume I and II form a continuous study of Wittgenstein's philosophy, but they are designed to be read independently of each other. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

About the book >.>.> Tuts is the first of two volumes in a comprehensive study of the evolution of Ludwig Wittgenstein?s philosophy, authored by David Pears. This volume selectively examines Wittgenstein's philosophical journey from inception to conclusion, specifically emphasising his early systematic ideas. Although the investigation into the foundations of mathematics is notably absent, Part I provides an overview of the development of his thoughts. The focus of Part II, which comprises the remaining sections of Volume I, is dedicated to his early philosophical system. The forthcoming Volume II will explore his later philosophical contributions.The division of the study into two volumes addresses a common trend among students engaging with Wittgenstein's work, particularly the Philosophical Investigations, who frequently overlook the earlier Tractatus. Additionally, those who read the Tractatus may not display equal interest in Wittgenstein?s later work due to prevailing academic structures. This bifurcation aims to respond to the observed demand for separate examinations of his philosophies. Pears acknowledges the significance of examining Wittgenstein's self-critiques after 1929, as they provide essential insights into the shifts in his philosophical perspectives post-Tractatus, offering readers a clear understanding of how his thoughts evolved.Pears shares a personal connection to the Tractatus, recalling his undergraduate struggle to grasp its complexities, which ultimately led him deeper into philosophical inquiry. This fascination, alongside the austere nature of the text and its hints at an underlying structure within the chaos of reality, sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of Wittgenstein?s philosophical legacy in The False Prison.
