This analysis of Wittgenstein's concept of a Spielraum, in which
the author approaches the Tractatus Logico-philosophicus both
systematically and from the perspective of the history of
philosophy and knowledge, opens up a new and important perspective
in Wittgenstein research. In establishing unexpected
cross-connections between physics, the theory of perception, and
logic, Hyder also makes a valuable contribution to the history of
19th century science. In particular, the links he establishes
between early sensory physiology and the logicism of Russell and
Frege yield a sharper and more plausible account of the notion of a
"space" of possible meanings than has hitherto been available in
the secondary literature. In showing this notion to be a formal
precursor to that of a language game, the study also provides
important pointers for the interpretation of Wittgenstein's late
work.
