Download or read book Tractatus Logico Philosophicus written by Ludwig Wittgenstein and published by . This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most groundbreaking works in twentieth century analytic philosophy, Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus ambitiously attempts to delineate the relationship between reality and its representation in language, logic, and propositional thought. Composed in Wittgenstein's notoriously aphoristic style, the Tractatus is the only book Wittgenstein saw published during his lifetime. While Wittgenstein famously criticized the Tractatus and his early thought in his posthumous Philosophical Investigations, it nonetheless remains one of the most influential contributions to contemporary philosophical literature.

Book excerpt: This dissertation presents an interpretation of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logioo-Philosophicus. Part One, i.e. chapters 2-16, deals with the Tractatus' view of drawing a limit to thinking, while Part Two, i.e. chapters 17-20, with its view of philosophy and ethics (value). Chapters 2-5 explain Wittgenstein's view of thinking and language. Chapters 6-10 argue that, for him, the internal rules of language are determined by the forms of symbols, and vice versa. Chapters 11-15 explain his view that logic is the logic of language. A major conclusion of Part One is then this: For him, a limit can be drawn to thinking by establishing a symbolism whose signs show the forms of its symbols. Chapter 17 argues that, for Wittgenstein, philosophy is an activity which demonstrates the senselessness of philosophical propositions by pointing out the referencelessness of some of their constituent symbols. Since pointing out the referencelessness of a symbol requires that the form of the symbol can be recognized merely from its sign, the possibility of performing philosophy depends on the possibility of drawing a limit to thinking. For Wittgenstein, an expression like 'The world (as a whole) exists' is senseless because the constituent symbol 'The world' cannot be given a reference. For in order for 'The world' to signify the world as a whole, its form must characterize the world as a whole and thus nothing specific. So the symbol can signify nothing. Rather, its form, as a characterization of the world as a whole, already shows what it attempts to signify. The demonstration of philosophy then brings out what cannot be said but can only be shown what the forgotten original wonder at the world (as a whole) is about. Chapter 18 explains how Wittgenstein tries to bring out the self as the willing self by demonstrating the senselessness of solipsism. Chapter 19 argues that, for him, the will's seeing the world as a whole is seeing the world with a value; and explains how he tries to bring out value by demonstrating the senselessness of propositions about the consequences of ethical acts. But we argue that his demonstrations in both cases are not successful. For, instead of tying up the voluntary aspect of the self with the relevant philosophical confusions, he merely appeals to the problematic notion of a complex to ensure the voluntary aspect of the self.

Download or read book Wittgenstein and the Limits of Language written by Hanne Appelqvist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The limit of language is one of the most pervasive notions found in Wittgenstein’s work, both in his early Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and his later writings. Moreover, the idea of a limit of language is intimately related to important scholarly debates on Wittgenstein’s philosophy, such as the debate between the so-called traditional and resolute interpretations, Wittgenstein’s stance on transcendental idealism, and the philosophical import of Wittgenstein’s latest work On Certainty. This collection includes thirteen original essays that provide a comprehensive overview of the various ways in which Wittgenstein appeals to the limit of language at different stages of his philosophical development. The essays connect the idea of a limit of language to the most important themes discussed by Wittgenstein—his conception of logic and grammar, the method of philosophy, the nature of the subject, and the foundations of knowledge—as well as his views on ethics, aesthetics, and religion. The essays also relate Wittgenstein’s thought to his contemporaries, including Carnap, Frege, Heidegger, Levinas, and Moore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected in this volume explore some of the themes that have been at the centre of recent debates within Wittgensteinian scholarship. In opposition to what we are tentatively inclined to think, the articles of this volume invite us to understand that our need to grasp the essence of ethical and religious thought and language will not be achieved by metaphysical theories expounded from such a point of view, but by focusing on our everyday forms of expression.

Download or read book Language Truth and Logic written by Alfred Jules Ayer and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A delightful book … I should like to have written it myself." — Bertrand Russell First published in 1936, this first full-length presentation in English of the Logical Positivism of Carnap, Neurath, and others has gone through many printings to become a classic of thought and communication. It not only surveys one of the most important areas of modern thought; it also shows the confusion that arises from imperfect understanding of the uses of language. A first-rate antidote for fuzzy thought and muddled writing, this remarkable book has helped philosophers, writers, speakers, teachers, students, and general readers alike. Mr. Ayers sets up specific tests by which you can easily evaluate statements of ideas. You will also learn how to distinguish ideas that cannot be verified by experience — those expressing religious, moral, or aesthetic experience, those expounding theological or metaphysical doctrine, and those dealing with a priori truth. The basic thesis of this work is that philosophy should not squander its energies upon the unknowable, but should perform its proper function in criticism and analysis.

Download or read book Teresa of Avila written by Peter Tyler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this strikingly original book, published to mark the fifth centenary of Teresa of Avila's birth, Dr Peter Tyler takes the writings of the sixteenth-century Spanish reformer and brings them into dialogue with some of the foremost thinkers who have shaped our contemporary notion of self. Starting with Freud and Kant, Tyler shows how the post-modern deconstruction of the self has allowed new possibilities for the spiritual to emerge once again as a vital force in our self-understanding. Key psychological and philosophical notions such as the unconscious, ego and desire are presented in ways that open up the door to the soul. Inspired by Teresa of Avila, Tyler offers possibilities of spiritual freedom to the troubled, contemporary self.

Download or read book The Concept of Mind written by Gilbert Ryle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This now-classic work challenges what Ryle calls philosophy's "official theory, " the Cartesian "myth" of the separation of mind and matter. Ryle's linguistic analysis remaps the conceptual geography of mind, not so much solving traditional philosophical problams as dissolving them into the mere consequences of misguided language. His plain language and essentially simple purpose put him in the tradition of Locke, Berkeley, Mill, and Russell - philisophers whose best work, like Ryle's, has become a part of our general literature.
