Description
Wittgenstein's philosophy of mind and his conception of philosophy are explored in this accessible account. Traditional notions of 'the inner' and 'the outer', as well as their relationship, were challenged by Wittgenstein's examination of our use of words. This clarifies our understanding of the mind, body, and behaviour. The book offers an illuminating introduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy, showing how his ideas on language clarify our notions of self and others. A highly readable overview of a complex subject, this biography is ideal for those looking to understand Wittgenstein's key concepts. Published in 2021, this paperback edition provides a concise and engaging introduction to the life and work of one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century.
