Questions on Wittgenstein (Routledge Revivals)Author(s): Rudolf Haller\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138025219, 978-1138025219\nSynopsis\nWittgenstein, possibly the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century, is often labelled a Neopositivist, a New-Kantian, even a Sceptic. Questions on Wittgenstein, first published in 1988, presents a selection of nine essays investigating a matter of vital philosophical importance: Wittgensteins relationship to his Austrian predecessors and peers. The intention throughout is to determine the precise contours of Wittgensteins own thought by situating it within its formative context.\n\nAlthough it remains of particular interest to Anglo-Saxon philosophers, special familiarity with Austrian philosophy is required to appreciate the subtle and profound influence which this cultural and philosophical setting had on Wittgensteins intellectual development. Professor Hal.
