Ludwig Wittgenstein and Hermann Broch

Broch's exploration of philosophy highlights his skepticism towards the Vienna Circle's reliance on Wittgenstein's logical approaches. While the Circle sought to eliminate metaphysical speculation through mathematical logic, Broch contended that novels also play a vital role in shaping ethical beliefs. This study delves into Broch's philosophical stance and analyzes two of his novels within a Wittgensteinian framework, emphasizing the interplay between literature and philosophy in constructing a comprehensive ethical worldview.
