Beschreibung:
This collection is the first study of Wittgenstein's scientism - a theme clearly central to his thought yet neglected by the existing literature. It explores Wittgenstein's views on scientism and anti-scientism, critically assesses them, and considers how they apply to topics such as mind and psychology, philosophical practice, the nature of religious belief, and the place of science in modern culture.
