In Search of Meaning
Author: Ulrich Arnswald
Publisher: KIT Scientific Publishing
ISBN: 3866442181
Category : Aufsatzsammlung
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
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.

Wittgenstein's Metaphilosophy
Author: Paul Horwich
Publisher: Oxford University Press (UK)
ISBN: 019966112X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Paul Horwich presents a bold new interpretation of Wittgenstein's later work. He argues that it is Wittgenstein's radically anti-theoretical metaphilosophy - and not his identification of the meaning of a word with its use - that underpins his discussions of specific issues concerning language, the mind, mathematics, knowledge, art, and religion.

Wittgenstein's Account of Truth
Author: Sara Ellenbogen
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791487369
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Wittgenstein's Account of Truth challenges the view that semantic antirealists attribute to Wittgenstein: that we cannot meaningfully call verification-transcendent statements "true." Ellenbogen argues that Wittgenstein would not have held that we should revise our practice of treating certain statements as true or false, but instead would have held that we should revise our view of what it means to call a statement true. According to the dictum "meaning is use," what makes it correct to call a statement "true" is not its correspondence with how things are, but our criterion for determining its truth. What it means for us to call a statement "true" is that we currently judge it true, knowing that we may some day revise the criteria whereby we do so.
