Oxfam bookshop tunbridge wells on being in the world: wittgeinstein and heidegger on seeing aspects by stephen mulhall this study aims to cast new light on a neglected but important area of wittgenstein's philosophy, and to reveal its pertinence to the central concerns of contemporary analytic philosophythis focus not only confers unity upon his treatment of the topic, but also connects that treatment with fundamental questions in the philosophy of psychology (taking issue with davidsonian approaches to these matters, for example)see oxfam website for delivery information read morein very good condition, with clean pages and a cover only faintly marked at the backthis work strives to show that wittgenstein's investigation of aspect perception is designed to illuminate much more than a bizarre type of visual experienceits starting point is the belief that wittgenstein's seemingly unsystematic remarks on seeing aspects of pictures and words, are in fact focused on a phenomenon which he labels "continuous aspect perception"by setting seeing aspects within this interpretative framework, the author seeks to demonstrate parallels between wittgenstein's interest, and concerns at the heart of heidegger's "being and time"it highlights what is distinctively "human" about human behaviour in relation to things in the world, and elements which distinguish human practical activity from that of automata

Nevertheless, the tractatus contains philosophical insights, achieved despite his early preconceptions, that form the foundation of his later philosophyoxfam bookshop hampstead elucidating the tractatus: wittgenstein's early philosophy of language and logic discussion of wittgenstein's tractatus is currently dominated by two opposing interpretations of the work: a metaphysical or realist reading and the 'resolute' reading of diamond and conantby this account, the aim of the work is to elucidate what language itself makes clear, namely, what is essential to its capacity to express thoughts that are true or falsemcginn takes as a guiding principle the idea that we should see wittgenstein's early work as an attempt to eschew philosophical theory and to allow language itself to reveal how it functionshowever, the early wittgenstein undertakes this descriptive project in the grip of a set of preconceptions concerning the essence of language that determine both how he conceives the problem and the approach he takes to the task of clarificationmarie mcginn's principal aim in this book is to develop an alternative interpretative line, which rejects the idea, central to the metaphysical reading, that wittgenstein sets out to ground the logic of our language in features of an independently constituted reality, but which allows that he aims to provide positive philosophical insights into how language functionsin very good condition, though there is a faint erased pencil mark on the first endpaper see oxfam website for delivery information read more
