Wittgenstein's "Form of life" reveals the intricate relationship
between language and life throughout Ludwig Wittgenstein's work.
Drawing on the entire corpus of his writings, David Kishik offers a
synoptic view of Wittgenstein's evolving thought by considering the
notion of form of life as its vanishing center. The book takes its
cue from the idea that 'to imagine a language means to imagine a
form of life', in order to present the first holistic account of
Wittgenstein's philosophy in the spirit of a new wave of
interpretations, pioneered by Stanley Cavell, Cora Diamond and
James Conant. It is also an enticing contribution to the rising
discourse revolving around the subject of life, led by the recent
work of Giorgio Agamben. Standing on the threshold between the
Analytic and the Continental philosophical traditions, Kishik shows
how Wittgenstein's philosophy of language points toward a new
philosophy of life, thereby making a unique contribution to our
ethical and political thought.
