Joachim Schulte's introduction provides a distinctive and masterful
account of the full range of Wittgenstein's thought. It is concise
but not compressed, substantive but not overloaded with
developmental or technical detail, informed by the latest
scholarship but not pedantic.
This is a comprehensive guide to the basic movements we can observe
in the sky. Schultz describes the daily movement of the stars from
different parts of the earth (including southern hemisphere
throughout). Included are the sun's pattern of the day and of the
year, the moon's various periods, nodes and eclipses, as well as
the planets' apparent movement and loops, conjunctions and
transits. The appendix contains tables of periods and rhythms, and
a guide to important occurrences to the year 2010.
In this book, translated from the German by the author, Joachim Schulte uses the discussions of psychological concepts in Wittgenstein's late manuscripts as a basis of reconstructing the central arguments and ideas developed by Wittgenstein during that period. This reconstruction yields valuable insights not only in the philosophy of psychology, but also in aesthetics and the theory of meaning.
Wittgenstein's last work, On Certainty, is widely regarded as his
third masterpiece of philosophy and one of his most enigmatic
writings. On Certainty explores the ways in which claims of
indisputable knowledge are expressed, and how language forms the
basis of such claims. On Certainty has largely been read as
representing a break with Wittgenstein's previous thinking, but
this study places these ideas firmly in the development of his
thought since the 1930s. Wittgenstein on Certainty and Doubt
illuminates Wittgenstein's examination of the logical features of
epistemic terms-such as 'know', 'believe' and 'doubt'-and his
interrogation of the foundations of human knowledge, the extent to
which our knowledge is immune from doubt, and the conflicts between
different articulations of knowledge.
