Post-Analytic Tractatus establishes Wittgenstein's early work in
the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as an invaluable source for
exploring current debate on analytic philosophy in its origins,
history, limits and relations with European philosophy. Drawing
together new work from the leading figures in interpretation of the
Tractatus - Conant and Diamond - with work by respected
Wittgenstein commentators such as Kremer and Hutto, together with a
reprint of a relevant and striking text by Brouwer, this timely
collection offers a valuable resource for exploring the Tractatus'
connections to approaches other than logical positivism,
mathematical logic and formal semantics. Examining links with the
work of Leibniz, Kant, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Frege, Russell,
James, Heidegger and others, the contributors consider key themes
in twentieth-century philosophy including symbols and expression,
language and metaphysics, objects and signs, logical form,
structure and syntax, limits of philosophical discourse, Idealism
and transcendental arguments, distinguishing sense and nonsense,
showing and saying in communication, mysticism and transcendence in
experience, ethical and aesthetic value, the worlds of solipsism
and religion, philosophy as an activity and as a system.
Particularly timely in establishing the Tractatus as a source for
comparable debates across Continental and Analytic philosophy, this
collection will prove of value to scholars of twentieth-century
philosophy, Wittgenstein, and Post-Analytic philosophy.
