Wittgenstein and Quine

Rate this book
This unique study brings together for the first time two of the most important philosophers of this century. Never before have these two thinkers been compared - and commentators' opinions on their relationship differ greatly. Are the views of Wittgenstein and Quine on method and the nature of philosophy comparable or radically opposed? Does Wittgenstein's concept of language engender that of Quine, or threaten its philosophical foundations?

An understanding of the similarities and differences between the thought of Wittgenstein and of Quine is essential if we are to have a full picture of contemporary philosophy. This collection of essays offers diverse and original ways in which to view their relationship.

قبلا هم تو نگاه های سطحی به کواین حس کرده بودم حرفهای کواین شباهتهایی به ویتگنشتاین داره اما ایده بیشتر فصلهای این کتاب اینه که این شباهت تو خیلی از موارد ظاهریه، در واقع فصلهای مختلف کتاب رو آدمهای مختلفی نوشتن و یه جوری این کتاب مجموعه مقالاتی راجع به ویتگنشتاین و کواینه البته خیلی از قسمتهاش تخصصیه و من درست متوجه نمیشدم اما لا به لای این گفت و گوی تخصصی بین فیلسوفان تحلیلی چیزهای جالبی هم میشد یاد گرفت.
