Per Wikipedia, Georg Henrik Von Wright ( 1916 - 2003) Was A Finnish Philosopher. G. H. Von Wright Was Born In Helsinki On 14 June 1916 To Tor Von Wright And His Wife Ragni Elisabeth Alfthan. On The Retirement Of Ludwig Wittgenstein As Professor At The University Of Cambridge In 1948, Von Wright Succeeded Him. He Published In English, Finnish, German, And Swedish, Belonging To The Swedish-Speaking Minority Of Finland. Von Wright Was Of Both Finnish And 17Th-Century Scottish Ancestry,And The Family Was Raised To Nobility In 1772. In Later Years Von Wright Began To Take An Interest In Political Questions, Having Opposed The Heavy Bombing Ordered By Lyndon B. Johnson During The Vietnam War. He Attended The Praxis School-Organised Kor?ula Summer School. Von Wright's Writings Come Under Two Broad Categories. The First Is Analytic Philosophy And Philosophical Logic In The Anglo-American Vein. His 1951 Texts An Essay In Modal Logic And "Deontic Logic" Were Landmarks In The Postwar Rise Of Formal Modal Logic And Its Deontic Version. He Was An Authority On Wittgenstein, Editing His Later Works. He Was The Leading Figure In The Finnish Philosophy Of His Time, Specialising In Philosophical Logic, Philosophical Analysis, Philosophy Of Action, Philosophy Of Language, Epistemology, And The Close Study Of Charles Sanders Peirce. The Other Vein In Von Wright's Writings Is Moralist And Pessimist. During The Last Twenty Years Of His Life, Under The Influence Of Oswald Spengler, Jürgen Habermas And The Frankfurt School's Reflections About Modern Rationality, He Wrote Prolifically. His Best Known Article From This Period Is Entitled "The Myth Of Progress" (1993), And It Questions Whether Our Apparent Material And Technological Progress Can Really Be Considered "Progress" (See Myth Of Progress).
