Description: Wittgenstein, Mind and Meaning by Meredith Williams This title offers a provocative re-reading of Wittgensteins later writings on language and mind, and explores the tensions between Wittgensteins ideas and contemporary cognitivist conceptions of the mental. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Wittgenstein, Mind and Meaning offers a provocative re-reading of Wittgensteins later writings on language and mind, and explores the tensions between Wittgensteins ideas and contemporary cognitivist conceptions of the mental. Williamss theme throughout is the anti-individualism that she takes to underlie Wittgensteins criticism of Cartesian thought. This book lays the foundation for a social conception of mind. This book addresses both Wittgensteins later works as well as contemporary issues in philosophy of mind. It provides fresh insight into the later Wittgenstein and raises vital questions about the foundations of cognitivism and its wider implications for psychology and cognitive science.
