Opis

This volume casts a fresh light on many classical philosophical issues and brings Wittgensteinian ideas to bear on a number of current debates in which naturalism is playing a central role.

Recenzje

"This collection fills a lacuna, as the first volume focusing on the relationship between Wittgenstein and naturalism. It addresses important topics in current philosophical debates and is philosophical rather than exegetical in focus. The essays cover a wide variety of themes and are pertinent both to Wittgenstein scholarship and current debates concerning naturalism." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
