Analytic Philosophy and the Later Wittgensteinian Tradition

Viac o knihe

The book explores the decline of the later Wittgensteinian tradition in analytic philosophy from the 1950s to the 1980s. Initially, Wittgenstein's influence was profound, with Oxford emerging as a hub for analytic thought. However, despite his prominence, by the 1980s, his ideas became marginal within the philosophical landscape. The author investigates the historical shifts and factors that contributed to this decline, offering insights into the evolving nature of analytic philosophy and Wittgenstein's legacy.
