PHIL-414 Topics in Philosophy

Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote a book called the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, in which he claimed to have solved all the problems of philosophy. Later, he realizes this solution will not work, so he writes another book and tries a different approach, the "language game." This course takes a closer look at this new approach to philosophy in his Philosophical Investigations.
