Intensive Reading Course
A close, intensive reading of (topically) selected sections of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. Topics include: the nature of philosophy, the problem of meaning, language-games, rules and rule-following, interiority (“inner objects”), and forms of life—together with, from the concluding “Fragments,” seeing and seeing as. Intended for anyone who has wanted to learn something about Wittgenstein but had the good sense not to ask. Some background in philosophy is advisable.
