This volume brings together new essays that consider Wittgenstein's
treatment of the phenomenon of aspect perception in relation to the
broader idea of conceptual novelty; that is, the acquisition or
creation of new concepts, and the application of an acquired
understanding in unfamiliar or novel situations. Over the last
twenty years, aspect perception has received increasing
philosophical attention, largely related to applying Wittgenstein's
remarks on the phenomena of seeing-as, found in Part II of
Philosophical Investigations (1953), to issues within philosophical
aesthetics. Seeing-as, however, has come to occupy a broader
conceptual category, particularly in philosophy of mind and
philosophical psychology. The essays in this volume examine the
exegetical issues arising within Wittgenstein studies, while also
considering the broader utility and implications of the phenomenon
of seeing-as in the fields of aesthetics, philosophical psychology,
and philosophy of mathematics, with a thematic focus on questions
of novelty and creativity. The collection constitutes a fruitful
interpretative engagement with the later Wittgenstein, as well as a
unique contribution to considerations of philosophical methodology.
