Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is considered by most
philosophers - even those who do not share his views - to be the
most influential philosopher of the 20th century. His contributions
to the philosophy of language, mind, meaning and psychology - as
well as to logic, mathematics and epistemology - permanently
altered the philosophical landscape, and his Tractatus Logico
Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations continue to be
studied in philosophy departments around in the world. In this
superb introduction and overview of Wittgenstein s life and work,
William Child discusses:
- Wittgenstein s early work, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus,
including his account of language and thought
- Wittgenstein s subsequent rejection of some of the central
doctrines of the Tractatus
- Wittgenstein s later philosophy
- intentionality and rule-following
- philosophy of mind and psychology in Philosophical
Investigations
- knowledge and certainty, and Wittgenstein s final work
- philosophy of religion
- the legacy and influence of Wittgenstein s ideas in philosophy,
and beyond.
Including a chronology, glossary, and helpful conclusions to
each chapter, Wittgenstein is essential reading for anyone coming
to Wittgenstein's philosophy for the first time.
