Description

Wittgenstein and Derrida explores the development of classical philosophical concepts through the works of Aristotle, Kant, Husserl, and Wittgenstein. Henry Staten examines how these thinkers shaped the idea of form (eidos), verbal formula (logos), the object-in-general, and time. The book delves into Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, interpreting his "zigzag" writing as deconstructive syntax that challenges traditional philosophical concerns with entity form. This approach is reminiscent of Derrida's work, which critiques the dominance of form in philosophy. Staten's analysis offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between these influential thinkers and their contributions to modern philosophy.
