Opis

The Enchantment of Words is a study of Wittgenstein's early masterpiece, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. Recent years have seen a great revival of interest in the Tractatus. McManus's study of the work offers novel readings of all its major themes and sheds light on issues in metaphysics, ethics and the philosophies of mind, language, and logic.

Recenzje

This brief summary does not do justice to the care and detail with which McManus works these ideas out...an interesting and deeply thoughtful book that is a significant contribution to the seemingly endless task of interpreting Wittgenstein's early work.
