Wittgenstein, Education and the Problem of Rationality

Více o knize

The book presents a historicist and non-foundationalist interpretation of rationality, drawing on Wittgenstein's later works. It critiques the universal conception of rationality promoted by analytic philosophy of education, arguing that it misinterprets Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language. Instead, it advocates for a constitutive notion of rationality that is historical and cultural, aligning with broader philosophical trends. By exploring the philosophical motivations and intellectual foundations of this perspective, the book seeks to replace the universal conception with a Hegelian view of Wittgenstein as an anti-foundational thinker.
