A key development in Wittgenstein Studies over recent years has
been the advancement of a resolutely therapeutic reading of the
Tractatus. Rupert Read offers the first extended application of
this reading of Wittgenstein, encompassing Wittgenstein's later
work too, to examine the implications of Wittgenstein's work as a
whole upon the domains especially of literature, psychopathology,
and time. Read begins by applying Wittgenstein's remarks on meaning
to language, examining the consequences our conception of
philosophy has for the ways in which we talk about meaning. He goes
on to engage with literary texts as Wittgensteinian, where
'Wittgensteinian' does not mean expressive of a Wittgenstein
philosophy, but involves the literature in question remaining
enigmatic, and doing philosophical work of its own. He considers
Faulkner's work as productive too of a broadly Wittgensteinian
philosophy of psychopathology. Read then turns to philosophical
accounts of time, finding a link between the division of time into
discrete moments and solipsism of the present moment as depicted in
philosophy on the one hand and psychopathological states on the
other. This important book positions itself at the forefront of a
revolutionary movement in Wittgenstein studies and philosophy in
general and offers a new and dynamic way of using Wittgenstein's
works.
