Wittgenstein and Scientism

Jonathan Beale

4.9/5 (13686 ratings)

Description:Wittgenstein criticized prevailing attitudes towards the sciences, accusing science of 'sending us to sleep'. This volume is the first study of Wittgenstein's scientism - a theme in his work that is both clearly central to his thought yet strikingly neglected by the existing literature.This volume explores the philosophical basis of Wittgenstein's anti-scientism; how this anti-scientism helps us understand Wittgenstein's philosophical aims; and how this underlies his later conception of philosophy and the kind of philosophy he attacked.An international team of contributors explore and articulate Wittgenstein's views on scientism and anti-scientism, critically assess them, and consider how they apply to topics such as mind and psychology, philosophical practice, the nature of religious belief, and the place of science in modern culture.Contributors: Jonathan Beale, William Child, Annalisa Coliva, David E. Cooper, Ian James Kidd, James C. Klagge, Daniele Moyal-Sharrock, Rupert Read, Genia Schonbaumsfeld, Severin Schroeder, Benedict Smith, and Chon Tejedor.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
