Marie 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 functionsby 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 clarificationnevertheless, 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 conantin very good condition, though there is a faint erased pencil mark on the first endpaper see oxfam website for delivery information read more
