Description
Wittgenstein: The Way Out of the Fly-bottle offers a clear and concise introduction to the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein. This book provides a lucid account of his key ideas, from his early work, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, to his later masterpiece, Philosophical Investigations. Severin Schroeder's narrative weaves together Wittgenstein's extraordinary life with an explanation of his philosophical concepts. At the heart of Wittgenstein's later philosophy lies a groundbreaking conception of the nature of philosophy itself. Rather than presenting new doctrines, Wittgenstein seeks to demonstrate how all philosophical theorizing is rooted in conceptual misunderstanding. Schroeder provides a careful and clear account of Wittgenstein's main arguments, before considering critical responses to his work. This book is ideal for students seeking a straightforward introduction to the philosophy of this influential twentieth-century thinker.
