How To Read Wittgenstein by Ray Monk (English) Paperback Book

Description: How To Read Wittgenstein by Ray Monk Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description How to Read is a personal masterclass in reading, bringing you face to face with the work of some of the most influential and challenging writers in history Publisher Description Though Wittgenstein wrote on the same subjects that dominate the work of other analytic philosophers - the nature of logic, the limits of language, the analysis of meaning - he did so in a peculiarly poetic style that separates his work sharply from that of his peers and makes the question of how to read him particularly pertinent. At the root of Wittgensteins thought, Monk argues, is a determination to resist the scientism characteristic of our age, a determination to insist on the integrity and the autonomy of non-scientific forms of understanding. The kind of understanding we seek in philosophy, Wittgenstein tried to make clear, is similar to the kind we might seek of a person, a piece of music, or, indeed of a poem.Extracts are taken from Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and from a range of Wittgensteins posthumously published writings, including Philosophical Investigations, The Blue and Brown Books, On Certainty and Last Writings on the Philosophy of Psychology. Author Biography Ray Monk is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton. He is the author of Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius and of a two-volume biography of Bertrand Russell.
