@article{1471730, author = {Fielding, James Matthew.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1471730}, title = {The movement of thought : Wittgenstein on time, change and history /}, abstract = {This book covers the topic of history and the role that it played in the Austrio-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgensteins thought. The topic is explored from multiple angles, both chronologically and thematically. Reviewing Wittgensteins two magnum opera - the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) and Philosophical Investigations (1952), this work is an investigation into an under-acknowledged element in Wittgensteins thought, one which in many cases acted as an impetus for that life-long process of novel philosophical reflection: History. This volume traces the evolution of Wittgensteins thoughts on time and temporality from the Tractatus, through the Investigations, into some key post-Investigations remarks and also examines the motivations behind Wittgensteins post-Tractarian return to philosophy and, in particular, the unique methodology he developed in order to serve his renewed purpose. The final chapter seeks to answer the question, What was Wittgenstein trying to achieve with Philosophical Investigations? This book is of interest to philosophers.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-29261-3}, recid = {1471730}, pages = {1 online resource.}, }
