Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Philosophy (Arts and Sciences).
Wittgenstein directly addresses the nature of philosophy (and philosophical problems) both in the Investigations and in much of his writing and conversation outside that text. I will argue for an interpretation of Wittgenstein's philosophical method in the Philosophical Investigations based on 1) his conversations and lectures during his years at Cambridge, 2) his views expressed in the Blue Book and 3) his views expressed in the Big Typescript. My goal is to 'take Wittgenstein at his word' and examine his comments on philosophy in many different contexts. Given the cohesive nature of Wittgenstein's views on philosophy in the 1930's, I will argue that §§109-133 in the Philosophical Investigations represents the coherent method that Wittgenstein employed throughout his 'later' years.
