Description: Further DetailsTitle: Wittgenstein ReadingCondition: NewISBN-10: 3110294621EAN: 9783110294620ISBN: 9783110294620Publisher: De GruyterFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 10/17/2013Description: Wittgenstein's thought is reflected in his reading and reception of other authors. Wittgenstein Reading approaches the moment of literature as a vehicle of self-reflection for Wittgenstein. What sounds, on the surface, like criticism (e.g. of Shakespeare) can equally be understood as a simple registration of Wittgenstein's own reaction, hence a piece of self-diagnosis or self-analysis. The book brings a representative sample of authors, from Shakespeare, Goethe, or Dostoyevsky to some that have received far less attention in Wittgenstein scholarship like Kleist, Lessing, or Wilhelm Busch and Johann Nepomuk Nestroy. Furthermore, the volume offers means for the cultural contextualization of Wittgenstein's thoughts. Unique to this book is its internal design. The editors' introduction sets the scene with regards to both biography and theory, while each of the subsequent chapters takes a quotation from Wittgenstein on a particular author as its point of departure for developing a more specific theme relating to the writer in question. This format serves to avoid the well-trodden paths of discussions on the relationship between philosophy and literature, allowing for unconventional observations to be made. Furthermore, the volume offers means for the cultural contextualization of Wittgenstein's thoughts.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 155mmItem Length: 230mmItem Weight: 736gContributor: Sascha Bru (Edited by), Wolfgang Huemer (Edited by), Daniel Steuer (Edited by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: On WittgensteinAuthor: Sascha BruTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
