Wittgenstein and Meaning in Life

In Search of the Human Voice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What could Wittgenstein's work contribute to the rapidly growing literature on life's meaning? This book not only examines Wittgenstein's scattered remarks about value and 'sense of life' but also argues that his philosophy and 'way of seeing' has far reaching implications for the ways theorists approach an ancient question: 'How shall one live?'.
