Reseña de The Great Philosophers: Wittgenstein

The Great Philosophers: Wittgenstein de Peter Hacker Resumen del Libro

Ludwig Wittgenstein 1889 – 1951

P.M.S. Hacker’s Wittgenstein offers an illuminating introduction to Wittgenstein’s philosophy of mind and to his conception of philosophy. Combining passages from Wittgenstein’s writings with detailed interpretation and commentary, Hacker leads us into a world of philosophical investigation in which ‘to smell a rat is ever so much easier than to trap it.’

Wittgenstein claimed that the role of philosophy is to dissolve conceptual confusions, to untie the knots in our understanding that result from entanglement in the web of language. He overturned centuries of philosophical reflection on the nature of ‘the inner’, of our subjective experience and of our knowledge of self and others. Traditional conceptions of ‘the outer’, of human behaviour, were equally distorted and so too was the relation between the inner and the outer. Hacker shows how Wittgenstein’s examination of our use of words clarifies our notions of mind, body and behaviour.
