- This 185-page book advances a reading of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus that moves beyond the main interpretative options of the New Wittgenstein debate. Described as ‘outstanding’, ‘distinctive’, ‘compelling’, ‘provocative and perceptive’, ‘an original contribution’, ‘enthralling’, ‘exceptionally clear’, ‘wide-ranging’, and ‘historically informed’, this ground-breaking book re-contextualises Wittgenstein’s thinking on language and logic, metaphysics, the natural sciences, and value. It concludes with a positive message concerning the power for ethical transformation that philosophy can have when it is understood as an activity aimed at increasing conceptual clarification and awareness.
