Remarks on The Philosophy of Psychology by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Publication: 1980 University of Chicago Press First US Edition
An important work from the eccentric 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein’s method showed exceptional versatility, allowing him to move from the philosophy of mathematics to the philosophy of psychology. He proposed that the study of psychology is similar to the practice of mathematics in that both are organized by following rules or propositions. Wittgenstein distinguished between “grammatical” propositions, which form concepts, and “material” propositions. He argued that “grammatical” propositions introduce new terms to our conceptual grammar rather than new discoveries.
