Routledge Wittgenstein and Psychology: A Practical Guide - Routledge

Discover how Wittgenstein's revolutionary approach to language illuminates the conceptual foundations of psychology. This book systematically explores Wittgenstein's analysis of psychological concepts and their 'grammar', drawing from his Philosophical Investigations to untangle conceptual confusions in psychology and mathematics. Harr and Tissaw present Wittgenstein's insights in an accessible, practical framework that connects his philosophy of language to the core concepts psychologists use to identify and understand human behaviour. Ideal for students, philosophers, and psychologists seeking to understand how linguistic analysis resolves foundational problems in psychological thought and reveals the hidden assumptions underlying psychological terminology.
