Cover of Tim Thornton: Wittgenstein on Language and Thought (PDF)

This book defends and outlines the key issues surrounding the philosophy of content as demonstrated in Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations. The text shows how Wittgenstein’s critical arguments concerning mind and meaning are destructive of much recent work in the philosophy of thought and language, including the representationalist orthodoxy. These issues are related to the work of Davidson, Rorty and Mc Dowell among others.
