Derrida and Wittgenstein | Garver & Lee
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2017 6:15 pm
I have opened up this thread for now, although it is not strictly speaking active. I wanted to share some intitial thoughts after reading the introduction and some of chapter 2, the introduction is chapter 1 by the way.
The book is very easy to read, I think it is by far the simplest book on Wittgenstein (as he has been the main philosopher to be discussed up to this point) I have read so far.
It is painstaking in detail when it comes to comparing Saussure's structural linguistics to Wittgenstein. I like how it clarifies the embodiment of rules in language, which is interesting.
Anyway, that's a very brief skimming through, first impressions type post. I will not be posting the PDF, as I don't have it, any readings from this book will have to come from a physical copy, or your own PDF if you have it I am afraid.
