Description: Ludwig Wittgenstein: Half-Truths and One-and-a-Half-Truths by Jaakko Hintikka Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Wittgenstein was far too impatient to explain in his books and book drafts what his problems were, what it was that he was trying to get clear about. For one important instance, in The Brown Book, Wittgenstein had explained in some detail what name-object relationships amount to in his view. Publisher Description Frequently, a genuine understanding of a thinkers ideas is possible only by following them further than he did himself. Wittgensteins Viennese contemporary Karl Kraus spoke in a similar context of one-and-a-half truths in contradistinction to half-truths. In this volume of essays, Jaakko Hintikka examines the two grand visions concerning the interrelations of language, self and the world that guided Wittgensteins thought at the different stages of his philosophical development. He seeks to show how one of them, the so-called picture theory of language, was in reality a combination of several independent assumptions, while the other, the idea of language-games as the vehicles of meaning, was the end product of an intriguing development. Hintikka asserts that many of Wittgensteins best-known ideas can, and must, be understood as defences or rationalizations of his overall visions. In several essays, Wittgensteins ideas are illuminated through comparisons with other philosophers, including Russell, Husserl and Carnap.
