Nice tutorial on Wittgenstein’s conception of grammar

May 4, 2008 in Philosophy of Language, Wittgenstein on the web! | Tags: Wittgenstein resources

I’m a bit overwhelmed with finals and papers, but I did have a chance to read about half of Robert Wesley Angelo’s tutorial on Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language.

He provides a very user-friendly characterization of Wittgenstein’s concept of grammar and more importantly, Wittgenstein’s intention with his overall project. You can view it at http://www.roangelo.net/logwitt/

David,

Good to see you’re back.

On Friday there was a talk given at the Wittgenstein Workshop comparing Wittgenstein and Husserl on intention and fulfillment. The paper wasn’t posted, but there are plans to post the audio soon. The Workshop’s address is: http://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/wittgenstein/

That’s great, thanks a lot for that link. I was always disappointed with the fact that my thesis lacked a sufficient inclusion of Husserl’s intentionality. It only later occurred to me, AFTER the oral defense of the thesis, that failure to do so was fairly epic.

I do hope they post the paper, I’d be very interested to see it. The only paper I recall reading that explicitly dealt with Husserl and Wittgenstein re: intentionality was something called “Wittgenstein and the Snark” and then something about social naturalism. I have the paper but do not currently have access to it as I’m away from my desktop.
