Wittgenstein's Enduring Arguments Hardback
Edited by Edoardo Zamuner, D. K. (University of Edinburgh, UK) Levy
Hardback
Description
Fifty years after Wittgenstein's death, his philosophy and the arguments it embodied remain vital and applicable.
Wittgenstein's Enduring Arguments illustrates the use of Wittgenstein's thought for continuing philosophical debates, old and new.
Featuring essays by leading international philosophers, the collection examines the key theme of representation in Wittgenstein's philosophy. Organised into three clear parts the book considers representation in cognition, in language and in what cannot be represented - the absolute.
The first part applies Wittgenstein to leading questions concerning qualia, the grammar of phenomenology and developmental psychology.
The second part applies Wittgenstein to vexing knots in the philosophy of language like language and concept acquisition, the normativity of meaning and linguistic understanding.
The final section addresses Wittgenstein's unique philosophical approach to logic, self, religion and ethics. Each specially commissioned chapter demonstrates the successful application of Wittgenstein's philosophy; collectively they express a confidence that Wittgenstein's arguments and his philosophy will endure.
Wittgenstein's Enduring Arguments is essential reading for those seeking to examine and assess the philosopher's lasting contribution to modern thought.
