Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Wittgenstein and the Philosophical Investigations (Routledge Philosophy Guidebooks)

by Marie Mcginn

Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to Wittgenstein and the Philosophical Investigations (Routledge Philosophy Guidebooks) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Routledge philosophy guidebooks introduce students to the classic works of philosophy. Each guidebook considers a major philosopher and a key area of their philosophy by focusing on an important text - situating the philosopher and the work in a historical context, considering the text in question and assessing the philosopher's contribution to contemporary thought. In "The Philosophical Investigations", Wittgenstein's most important work, he introduces the famous "private language argument" which affected the philosophical view of language. This volume discusses such elements of the philosopher's work.

Synopsis:

Wittgenstein is the most influential twentieth century philosopher in the English-speaking world. In the Philosophical Investigations, his most important work, he introduces the famous 'private language argument' which changed the whole philosophical view of language. Wittgenstein and the Philosophical Investigations introduces and assesses:

* Wittgenstein's life, and its connection with his thought

* the text of the Philosophical Investigations

* the importance of Wittgenstein's work to contemporary philosophy.

Synopsis:

This guidebook introduces the student of Wittgenstein to the important work, "The Philosophical Investigations" and looks at the overall importance of Wittgenstein to current philosophy.
