Description

This scholarly work by Patrick Horn presents an innovative comparison of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Ludwig Wittgenstein, examining their shared philosophical concerns about the relationship between language and reality. Horn argues that both philosophers rejected metaphysical accounts of how reality shapes language, yet traces how Gadamer's philosophy retains certain metaphysical assumptions that align his thinking more closely with the early Wittgenstein than the later period. Published by Routledge as part of the Ashgate Wittgensteinian Studies series, this book offers readers a rigorous philosophical analysis of two major twentieth-century thinkers and their divergent approaches to understanding language, meaning, and the nature of discourse without relying on traditional metaphysical frameworks.

Key Features

Patrick Horn's comparative analysis explores how Gadamer and Wittgenstein both challenged metaphysical views of language and reality.

The book examines Gadamer's philosophical framework and reveals where it retains metaphysical elements despite its stated rejections.

Wittgenstein's early and later work are discussed separately to show how Gadamer's approach aligns with the earlier Wittgenstein.

Part of the Ashgate Wittgensteinian Studies series published by Routledge, offering scholarly depth on contemporary philosophy.

Suitable for philosophy students, academic researchers, and scholars interested in language theory and phenomenological thought.

Explores the search for unified language and how both philosophers approached discourse without traditional metaphysical assumptions.
