Description
Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of logic is examined in this book from an austere naturalistic perspective. Penelope Maddy explores how Wittgenstein's ideas, particularly in his early work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and later discussions in Philosophical Investigations and Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics, relate to her own approach, known as "Second Philosophy". This approach begins with ordinary perceptual beliefs and moves through empirical generalizations, experimentation, and theory formation.
