The book explores the impact of manuscript remarks during the year
1929 on the development of Wittgenstein's thought. Although its
intention is to put the focus specifically on the manuscripts, the
book is not purely exegetical. The contributors generate important
new insights for understanding Wittgenstein's philosophy and his
place in the history of analytic philosophy. Wittgenstein's
writings from the years 1929-1930 are valuable, not simply because
they marked Wittgenstein's return to academic philosophy after a
seven-year absence, but because these works indicate several
changes in his philosophical thinking. The chapters in this volume
clarify the significance of Wittgenstein's return to philosophy in
1929. In Part 1, the contributors address different issues in the
philosophy of mathematics, e.g. Wittgenstein's understanding of
certain aspects of intuitionism and his commitment to
verificationism, as well as his idea of "a new system". Part 2
examines Wittgenstein's philosophical development and his
understanding of philosophical method. Here the contributors
examine particular problems Wittgenstein dealt with in 1929, e.g.
the colour-exclusion problem, and the use of thought experiments as
well as his relationship to Frank Ramsey and philosophical
pragmatism. Part 3 features essays on phenomenological language.
These chapters address the role of spatial analogies and the
structure of visual space. Finally, Part 4 includes one chapter on
Wittgenstein's few manuscript remarks about ethics and religion and
relates it to his Lecture on Ethics. Wittgenstein's Philosophy in
1929 will be of great interest to scholars and advanced students
working on Wittgenstein and the history of analytic philosophy.
Philosophy for Children (P4C) has long been considered as crucial
for children's ethical and moral education and a decisive
contribution for education for the democratic life. The book
gathers contributions from experts in the field who reflect on
fundamental issues on how childhood and ethics are interrelated
within the P4C movement. The main interest of this volume is to
offer an understanding of how different philosophical conceptions
of childhood can be coordinated with different ethical and
meta-ethical philosophical considerations in P4C addressing topics
such as P4C and relativism, P4C and Virtue ethics, ethics and
emotions in P4C, philosophical commitments and P4C application, and
Socratic practice within a pragmatist framework. A
thought-provoking collection about how assumptions of particular
philosophical conceptions of childhood modify moral and ethical
education and a testimony of the undeniable contribution of P4C for
moral education and reconceptualization of childhood.
