Topic for Fall 2018: Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is quite widely regarded to be one of the most outstanding and influential philosophers of the twentieth century. After writing his first major work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922), Wittgenstein started to change his mind about his philosophical stance. This resulted in the posthumous publication in 1953 of the Philosophical Investigations, a work that stands in stark contrast with the Tractatus and that is sometimes described as ‘concrete, descriptive and somewhat rambling, and its philosophical purpose seems elusive and veiled’ (McGinn, 1997, p.2).
