Ludwig Wittgenstein
À propos de l'auteur
Ludwig Wittgenstein was a prominent philosopher known for his work in logic, the philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mind. He was born in Vienna and later became one of the key figures in 20th-century philosophy. His early work, the "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus," aimed to identify the relationship between language and reality, proposing that the structure of language reflects the structure of the world. This groundbreaking text laid the foundation for much of the analytical philosophy that followed.
Later in his life, Wittgenstein shifted his focus and produced the "Philosophical Investigations," which critiqued his earlier ideas and introduced concepts such as language games and the idea that meaning is derived from use. His thoughts have had a lasting impact on various fields, including linguistics, cognitive science, and social theory. Wittgenstein's unique approach to philosophy emphasized clarity and the importance of ordinary language, making him a pivotal figure in modern philosophical discourse.
