In Wittgenstein on Logic as the Method of Philosophy, Oskari
Kuusela examines Wittgenstein's early and late philosophies of
logic, situating their philosophical significance in early and
middle analytic philosophy with particular reference to Frege,
Russell, Carnap, and Strawson. He argues that not only the early
but also the later Wittgenstein sought to further develop the
logical-philosophical approaches of his contemporaries. Throughout
his career Wittgenstein's aim was to resolve problems with and
address the limitations of Frege's and Russell's accounts of logic
and their logical methodologies so as to achieve the philosophical
progress that originally motivated the logical-philosophical
approach. By re-examining the roots and development of analytic
philosophy, Kuusela seeks to open up covered up paths for the
further development of analytic philosophy. Offering a novel
interpretation of the philosopher, he explains how Wittgenstein
extends logical methodology beyond calculus-based logical methods
and how his novel account of the status of logic enables one to do
justice to the complexity and richness of language use and thought
while retaining rigour and ideals of logic such as simplicity and
exactness. In addition, this volume outlines the new kind of
non-empiricist naturalism developed in Wittgenstein's later work
and explaining how his account of logic can be used to dissolve the
long-standing methodological dispute between the ideal and ordinary
language schools of analytic philosophy. It is of interest to
scholars, researchers, and advance students of philosophy
interested in engaging with a number of scholarly debates.
