Opis

The main theme of this book is Wittgenstein s later diagnosis of the confusion underlying the picture theory of the proposition. This leads to a re-interpretation of Wittgenstein s method of philosophy in Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein s method is diagnostic to an extent that has not been realized, and thus not clarified. Wittgenstein s practice of dissolving a philosophical problem, by showing how that problem arises, is much more predominant than most realize."
