Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-17 00:00:00 Charlotte J Chandler کتاب خصوصا در فصول اولیه که درباره ویتگنشتاین متقدم و نظریه تصویری وی است بسیار روان و قابل فهم است ولی در بخش دوم کتاب آنجایی که به ویتگنشتاین متاخر و بازی های زبانی می رسد، کتاب مملوء از ارجاعات باربط و بی ربط است که مؤلف به اقتضای حال خود به آنان اشاره می کند. در مجموع کتاب به واسطه تناسب هایی که با الهیات برقرار کرده بسیار جذاب و جالب شده است و گامی به جلو، در زدن پیوند میان فلسفه های جدید و مباحث الهیاتی برداشته است.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-06 00:00:00 Tommy Groves This book is okay. It gives a very basic introduction to Wittgenstein's early and late thought as shown in his Tractatus and Investigations respectively. While the book is short, 71 pages in total, I would argue that you would get more out of Wittgenstein's A Lecture on Religious Belief. As for Wittgenstein's philosophy in relation to the topic I found my largest disagreement coming in the form of a disagreement between the implications of the conceptions of Wittgenstein's positions and the philosophers I have read before reading this book. In large part, the book focused more on Wittgenstein's earlier thought which heavily influence the Logical Positivist movement, than his later thought in the Investigations. Now, the difference I find myself in mainly comes from this first focus on the Tractatus, but it also somewhat continues into the latter half with the Investigations. In large part the disagreement I had was in the representation of the possible world being used and demonstrated. This mainly comes from Wittgenstein's Picture Theory prevalent in his Tractatus because while he would seem to definitely be against the Platonic notions of Forms being actual things/objects, there is a problematic appearance of an unexamined metaphysical claim in this Wittgenstein. That unexamined metaphysical claim, which is what I disagreed with the most, deals with Immobility vs. Mobility. Now this goes back to Plato, but it's purest form would probably be, in Parmenides, that is to say, the picture theory, from the way described in the book does not allow for change or does not consider change possible. However, I am on the Henri Bergson who influenced Gilles Deleuze on the matter of Durée or Becoming. Other than this, I don't think this book needs any attention. It is not a waste to read, but it is not something one needs to go out and look for.
