| A short course on Wittgenstein (all welcome) | Sean Timmins | 31/03/2025 | 18:30 |
| Introduction to Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico Philosophicus has fascinated and perplexed readers since its publication in 1922. It is a short but intense work, made up of a series of highly compressed remarks or 'propositions'. These remarks, governed by a strict decimal numbering system which Wittgenstein considered vital to securing the book's overall clarity, deal with a range of topics from: 1) the relation between language and reality 2) the nature of logic 3) solipsism and subjectivity 4) the role of ethics and its connection with aesthetics, mysticism. 5) The aim of philosophy..... Whilst there is nothing philosophically obscure about these themes, the book itself is notoriously difficult for readers to understand. | |||
