This book advances a reading of Wittgenstein's Tractatus that moves
beyond the main interpretative options of the New Wittgenstein
debate. It covers Wittgenstein's approach to language and logic, as
well as other areas unduly neglected in the literature, such as his
treatment of metaphysics, the natural sciences and value. Tejedor
re-contextualises Wittgenstein's thinking in these areas, plotting
its evolution in his diaries, correspondence and pre-Tractatus
texts, and developing a fuller picture of its intellectual
background. This broadening of the angle of view is central to the
interpretative strategy of her book: only by looking at the
Tractatus in this richer light can we address the fundamental
questions posed by the New Wittgenstein debate - questions
concerning the method of the Tractatus, its approach to nonsense
and the continuity in Wittgenstein's philosophy. Wittgenstein's
early work remains insightful, thought-inspiring and relevant to
contemporary philosophy of language and science, metaphysics and
ethics. Tejedor's ground-breaking work ultimately conveys a
surprisingly positive message concerning the power for ethical
transformation that philosophy can have, when it is understood as
an activity aimed at increasing conceptual clarification and
awareness.
