Wittgenstein was centrally concerned with the puzzling nature of
the mind, mathematics, morality and modality. He also developed
innovative views about the status and methodology of philosophy and
was explicitly opposed to crudely "scientistic" worldviews. His
later thought has thus often been understood as elaborating a
nuanced form of naturalism appealing to such notions as "form of
life", "primitive reactions", "natural history", "general facts of
nature" and "common behaviour of mankind". And yet, Wittgenstein is
strangely absent from much of the contemporary literature on
naturalism and naturalising projects. This is the first collection
of essays to focus explicitly on the relationship between
Wittgenstein and naturalism. The volume is divided into four
sections, each of which addresses a different aspect of naturalism
and its relation to Wittgenstein's thought. The first section
considers how naturalism could or should be understood. The second
section deals with some of the main problematic
domains-consciousness, meaning, mathematics-that philosophers have
typically sought to naturalise. The third section explores ways in
which the conceptual nature of human life might be continuous in
important respects with animals. The final section is concerned
with the naturalistic status and methodology of philosophy itself.
This book thus casts a fresh light on many classical philosophical
issues and brings Wittgensteinian ideas to bear on a number of
current debates-for example experimental philosophy, neo-pragmatism
and animal cognition/ethics-in which naturalism is playing a
central role.

Bertrand Russell famously distinguished between 'knowledge by
acquaintance' and 'knowledge by description'. For much of the
latter half of the twentieth century, many philosophers viewed the
notion of acquaintance with suspicion, associating it with
Russellian ideas that they would wish to reject. However in the
past decade or two the concept has undergone a striking revival in
mainstream 'analytic' philosophy-acquaintance is, it seems,
respectable again. This volume showcases the great variety of
topics in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of
language for which philosophers are currently employing the notion
of acquaintance. It is the first collection of new essays devoted
to the topic of acquaintance, featuring chapters from many of the
world's leading experts in this area. Opening with an extensive
introductory essay, which provides some historical background and
summarizes the main debates and issues concerning acquaintance, the
remaining thirteen contributions are grouped thematically into four
sections: phenomenal consciousness, perceptual experience,
reference, and epistemology.
