商品簡介
The study of German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) has generally pivoted on his two masterpieces, the Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations, but the philosophy scholars here--from Europe, North America, and Hong Kong--contend that after the latter work he transcended all that he had previously accomplished, and that a recognition of his later works is necessary to appreciate his contribution to philosophy. They explore such topics as his foundational metaphors, his social naturalism, patterns of life, pretense and the inner, lying as a language game, and the riddle of life.
