Book Synopsis Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations by : Meredith Williams
Download or read book Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations written by Meredith Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2007 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations is one of the great works of 20th Century philosophy, destined to join the philosophical canon. Like all great works of philosophy, it poses new problems, while creating new forms of argument and persuasion. But unlike most contemporary philosophy texts, it is not structured by chapter and section headings, but rather by numbered passages -- evidence of Wittgenstein's distinctive style and profound originality. This anthology draws together in one volume several recent essays that help to make his problems and arguments more accessible. The essays are grouped into four sections that roughly correspond to the development that one finds in the Investigations. These sections are: reference and meaning; rules and their application; the interiority of mind, and the alleged uses of private languages; and necessity and grammar. Both readers who are new to the Investigations as well as those who are familiar with Wittgenstein's work should find these essays illuminating and engaging.

Book Synopsis Finding One’s Way Through Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations by : Emmanuel Bermon
Download or read book Finding One’s Way Through Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations written by Emmanuel Bermon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds a new light on Philosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s master opus, by taking a new approach to its first stretch (sections §§1-88), with special emphasis on its atypical opening. The methodological conviction that subtends the volume is that the highly unconventional form assumed by the book is internal to its content and crucial to its reconception of the relation between logic and language. This disconcerting form is dictated by the new modes of criticism deployed by Wittgenstein as he engages the philosophical tradition in the new terms afforded by the revolutionary “method of language-games”. In the essays collected here, seven authors, including some of the most influential figures in the field, offer close and often unorthodox readings of pivotal passages from the beginning of the book. These readings are also shaped by the conviction that the Philosophical Investigations are hardly intelligible apart from an appreciation of the concerns that they inherit from Wittgenstein’s early work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The authors contend that we need to consider the continuities between the early and the later works if we are to disclose the true discontinuities between them.

Book Synopsis Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations by : Joseph Agassi
Download or read book Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations written by Joseph Agassi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book collects 13 papers that explore Wittgenstein's philosophy throughout the different stages of his career. The author writes from the viewpoint of critical rationalism. The tone of his analysis is friendly and appreciative yet critical. Of these papers, seven are on the background to the philosophy of Wittgenstein. Five papers examine different aspects of it: one on the philosophy of young Wittgenstein, one on his transitional period, and the final three on the philosophy of mature Wittgenstein, chiefly his Philosophical Investigations. The last of these papers, which serves as the concluding chapter, concerns the analytical school of philosophy that grew chiefly under its influence. Wittgenstein’s posthumous Philosophical Investigations ignores formal languages while retaining the view of metaphysics as meaningless -- declaring that all languages are metaphysics-free. It was very popular in the middle of the twentieth century. Now it is passé. Wittgenstein had hoped to dissolve all philosophical disputes, yet he generated a new kind of dispute. His claim to have improved the philosophy of life is awkward just because he prevented philosophical discussion from the ability to achieve that: he cut the branch on which he was sitting. This, according to the author, is the most serious critique of Wittgenstein.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking on a small part of the larger issue waged between dualists and materialists, the author presents an analysis of intelligence that supports Gilbert Ryle's analysis while exposing the limits that exist between the application of the concept of intelligence and other mental conduct concepts. Topics include the criteria of intelligence; Holloway's definition; intelligent success and change success; intelligence, reflexes, and tropisms; intelligence and instincts, learning, habit, and training ; purpose and intelligent action; style setting dispositions, exemplaries, and occasions; the minds of machines; Turing's analysis; the intelligence of computers; differences between machines and man; inductive and deductive reasoning; and the autonomous machine.

Book Synopsis Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations by : Robert Arrington
Download or read book Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations written by Robert Arrington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. Although there is a vast amount of secondary literature on the Philosophical Investigations, very little exists which considers the exegesis of this important text. The apparently disjointed structure of the book has often been taken as a licence for interpreting passages out of context. This collection shows how important it is to consider the arguments which specify or authorise particular readings of certain passages. The essays are by distinguished Wittgenstein scholars. All approach the Investigations with the conviction that prior to pronouncements of the relevance or tenability of certain remarks one must always carefully consider Wittgenstein's text itself and locate the puzzling passages in their (immediate or original) contexts. Diverse exegetical approaches are represented; while some believe that the Investigations can be read as an independent text, others find it essential to look at the context of a particular remark, or of variations on it, in Wittgenstein's other texts. A lively debate emerges as authors differ in their assessment of the philosophical value of their material; some try to show that careful interpretations reveal valuable insights into prima facie untenable passages, others conclude that certain remarks fail to resolve the issues they address. This is the first strictly exegetical collection of papers on the Investigations. It is a major contribution to the study of not only this work, but of Wittgenstein's thought and an important strand of twentieth century philosophy.
