Paradox and Platitude in Wittgenstein's Philosophy
Paradox and platitude in Wittgenstein's philosophy
The Anatomy of Courage
'cowardly' is to be used, it might be more aptly applied to those who kill from beyond the range of retaliation, high in the sky, than to those willing to die themselves in order to kill others. In the matter of courage (a morally neutral virtue) whatever may be said of the perpetrators of last Tuesday's slaughter they were not cowards. George Ochoa, in a letter to the New Yorker two weeks later, took a different view and cited Aristotle's analys…

The False Prison Volume Two
This is the second of David Pears's acclaimed two‐volume work on the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy, covering the Philosophical Investigations and other writings from 1929 onwards. Though more selective in its coverage than the first volume (it deals mainly with Wittgenstein's philosophy of psychology and the ego, the possibility of a private language and rule‐following), the book reveals with great clarity the style, method, and conten…
The false prison
The False Prison Volume One
This is the first of David Pears's acclaimed two‐volume work on the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy, covering the pre‐1929 writings. Part I of the first volume consists in a brief but eloquent overview of Wittgenstein's philosophy as a whole; Part II critically examines the earlier system, delineating and evaluating the central ideas (logical atomism, picture theory of meaning, and solipsism) with intellectual rigour and clarity. Pears s…
Motivated Irrationality
Motivated irrationality, Freudian theory and cognitive dissonance
The kind of motivated irrationality that has attracted most attention from philosophers has been irrationality exhibited in a restrictive context. For example, someone has reasons for judging a particular course of action best and yet he yields to the temptation to do something else. If he yields intentionally and freely, this counts as akrasia (not being in command of oneself). There is also another type of example much discussed recently by phi…

w orm is the possibility of structure (Tractatus 2.033). My aim 1 in this paper is to show how far this idea, which is part of the picture theory, is a reaction against Russell's unpublished 1913 theory of propositions. 1 There is more to the picture theory than this, and more could be said about Russell's theories of propositions and judgement than is necessary for the presentation of his 1913 theory. But I shall confine myself to fixing the two…

Prototractatus

Hume on Personal Identity
A person is sometimes said to have no strong sense of his own identity. What that usually means is that he lacks some of the things that give inner stability and continuity to a human life: for instance, he may be uncertain about his beliefs, feelings and desires; he may not know the sort of person that he is, or the sort of person that he wants to be. But there is also another way in which a person may lose the sense of his own identity: he may …
