Exploring the rupture between Wittgenstein's early and late phases,
Michael Smith provides an original re-assessment of the
metaphysical consistencies that exist throughout his divergent
texts. Smith shows how Wittgenstein's criticism of metaphysics
typically invoked the very thing he was seeking to erase. Taking an
alternative approach to the inherent contradiction in his work, the
'problem of metaphysics', as Smith terms it, becomes the organizing
principle of Wittgenstein's thought rather than something to
overcome. This metaphysical thread enables further reflection on
the poetic nature of Wittgenstein's philosophy as well as his
preoccupation with ethics and aesthetics as important factors
mostly absent from the secondary literature. The turn to aesthetics
is crucial to a re-assessment of Wittgenstein's legacy, and is done
in conjunction with an innovative analysis of Nietzsche's critique
of Kantian aesthetics and Kant's 'judgments of taste'. The result
is a unique discussion of the limits and possibilities of
metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics and the task of the philosopher
more generally.
