Description

Explore the connection between Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy and social theory in this scholarly work from Routledge. While Wittgenstein's primary philosophical works do not focus on moral, political, or cultural issues, his personal writings in Culture and Value reveal a deep concern for these topics. This book examines how his philosophical approach can address these areas by overcoming confusion regarding the role and limits of philosophy. This text provides a critique of the theories of Giddens, Habermas, and Bhaskar through a Wittgensteinian lens. It argues that while social and political matters should not be addressed as traditional philosophy, deliberation on these subjects can be improved by understanding what philosophy can and cannot do. This volume is part of the Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of political science, ideology, and social theory.
