Description

Explore a bold and original perspective on one of the most significant works in modern philosophy. In Blind Obedience: Paradox and Learning in the Later Wittgenstein, Meredith Williams addresses the ongoing debate regarding the central problem within Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. Williams argues that the core issue is the problem of "normative similarity." This text provides a deep look at how Wittgenstein critiques traditional, representationalist theories of language. By focusing on the master/novice distinction of the learner, the author highlights a fundamental aspect of philosophical inquiry that is often overlooked. This work is essential for readers interested in understanding the complex relationships between mind and language. It offers a clear way to navigate the philosophical problems presented in the later Wittgensteinian tradition. Whether you are a student of philosophy or a seasoned researcher, this Routledge publication provides a fresh lens through which to view the mechanics of learning and language use.
