From the end of 1929 onwards, Wittgenstein devoted a fair number of remarks to criticizing the philosophical images that underpin the search for a particularly immediate mode of reproduction of the spatiality (and temporality) inherent in visual …

In his philosophy of psychology, Wittgenstein gives what he calls "paraphrases" a considerable role, which he sometimes reproaches himself for not emphasizing enough (BPP I, § 853). A paraphrase can be characterized as an expression that: (1) is the …

We propose to show how the three successive treatments of the problem of intentionality in Wittgenstein's work, from the Tractatus to De la certitude via the Recherches Philosophiques , crystallize in three distinct ways of establishing a parallel between …

The operation of comparison, constitutive of übersichtliche Darstellung (üD - synoptic presentation), is based on the identification of internal relations of similarities and differences. Placing this type of relationship at the heart of his philosophical …
