Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Grammar is a comprehensive treatment of logic and mathematics, exploring their connection to his later understanding of 'proposition', 'sign' and 'system'. Written between 1931 and 1934, this work builds upon earlier ideas while introducing new concepts. The Philosophical Grammar critiques views on inference, generality and mathematical proof, offering a deeper and more extensive analysis than previously presented. Wittgenstein's discussion of logic and mathematics is a key aspect of this book, making it an essential read for those interested in the subject. First published in 1991, this paperback edition provides access to Wittgenstein's most detailed treatment of these fundamental topics.
