Wittgenstein's House

Language, Space, & Architecture

Beschreibung

Arguing that the practice of architecture occupies not just a historical position between Stonborough-Wittgenstein's early and late philosophy, this book demonstrates that Wittgenstein's practice of architecture constitutes a fundamental component in the development of his philosophy of language from its early to late phases.

Rezensionen

"A strikingly brilliant and lucid piece of work. Last shows how Wittgenstein's entanglements of philosophy and architecture become the necessary prologue to his accomplishment in the Investigations. Wittgenstein's House takes what is often considered a marginal or extraneous interlude in his work and demonstrates how it in fact forms the indispensable pivot of a major reorientation in Wittgenstein's thought." - Bruce Clarke, Texas Tech University"
