Rzeczy i fakty. Wstęp do pierwszej filozofii Wittgensteina

Description

The thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, has undeniably left its mark on disciplines that are quite distant from academic philosophy. "Rzeczy i fakty," first published in 1968, is more than just an introduction to the "early" Wittgenstein. Bogusław Wolniewicz presents his own, highly original interpretation of the Austrian philosopher's thought, placing him in the same line as Plato, Aristotle, or Leibniz as a creator of a great metaphysical system.Written with a grand conceptual scope, erudition, and penetrating analysis, the book points out the non-obvious kinships between Wittgenstein's work and other great thinkers, elucidates numerous misunderstandings surrounding the interpretation of his philosophy, and, above all, demonstrates that the famous Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is not as hermetic a work as it may seem. "Rzeczy i fakty" will fascinate not only philosophers and logicians but also various researchers of Wittgenstein and his profound influence on culture.
