Routledge Wittgenstein on Thought, Language and Philosophy

Explore the complex relationship between thought and language in this Routledge Revival edition. This book examines Wittgenstein's post-1937 writings to understand his specific characterization of philosophy and how it relates to theories of meaning. It provides a deep look into how his later work departs from standard academic analytic philosophy. Readers will encounter a detailed discussion on whether the problem of philosophy functions as a systematic activity or a theoretical one. By analyzing Wittgenstein's texts, the work presents the argument that philosophy is best understood as a form of conceptual investigation. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the history and schools of thought within Western philosophy.
