书名: Wittgenstein, Mind and Meaning: Towards a Social Conception of Mind
作者: Meredith Williams (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (January 7, 1999)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 041518908X
ISBN-13: 978-0415189088
Book Description
Where Wittgenstein argues that there is no thought without language, advocates for cognitivism argue for the priority of thought over natural language usage.
This collection of papers explores the connection between Wittgenstein's criticism of the Cartesian theory of mind and his conception of language and mind, and lays the foundations for a social conception of mind, a conception that emphasises the social basis of rule-following and the philosophical significance of language learning.
Review
"Williams' articles together articulate a compelling argument, one whose primary claim is that Wittgenstein's writings on concept acquisition speak directly to much current work being done in cognitive psychology... This book will be of interest both to those interested in Wittgenstein's positive account of meaning and normativity and to cognitive psychologists, who could benefit from greater exposure to Wittgenstein's views." -- Mark MacLeod, Philosophy in
"Meredith Williams' engagement with various themes in Wittgenstein's later writings is highly original, and her arguments should stimulate all of us who work in these areas of inquiry. This is a truly superb contribution to current philosophical debates." -- Jeff Coulter, Boston University
"Meredith Williams' work sacrifices nothing in terms of rigor or sensitivity to textual detail, but manages to turn the discussion in such a way that issues of real significance are once again on the philosophical agenda." -- David Bloor, University of Edinburgh
