This book explores the idea that there is a certain performativity
of thought connecting Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and
Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. On this view, we
make judgments and use propositions because we presuppose that our
thinking is about something, and that our propositions have sense.
Kant's requirement of an a priori connection between intuitions and
concepts is akin to Wittgenstein's idea of the general
propositional form as sharing a form with the world. Aloisia Moser
argues that Kant speaks about acts of the mind, not about static
categories. Furthermore, she elucidates the Tractatus' logical form
as a projection method that turns into a so-called 'zero method',
whereby propositions are merely the scaffolding of the world. In so
doing, Moser connects Kantian reflective judgment to
Wittgensteinian rule-following. She thereby presents an account of
performativity centering neither on theories nor methods, but on
the application enacting them in the first place.
