Wittgenstein on Practice

Beschreibung

This volume brings together twelve previously unpublished essays on the theme of Wittgenstein on practice and on the insight that careful attention to human or animal activity is essential for thinking about philosophical problems. While Wittgenstein’s thought frames the collection as a whole, each chapter aims first and foremost at rigorous philosophical argument directed at contemporary issues. In this sense, each contribution “drafts” Wittgenstein on practice either by following in his wake, or by critiquing some aspect of his thought, or both.

This book is essential reading for all scholars and researchers of Wittgenstein and of philosophical methods.

Kevin M. Cahill is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bergen.
