Wittgenstein: The Fate of Wonder Wittgenstein’s Critique of Metaphysics and Modernity

That Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) was one of the most influential twentieth-century philosophers is hardly a controversial claim. However, Wittgenstein’s own works, principally the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922) and Philosophical Investigations (1953; second edition 1997), have engendered a considerable range of widely diverse—and divisive—commentary. In The Fate of Wonder Wittgenstein’s Critique of Metaphysics and Modernity, Kevin M. Cahill has produced a useful and at times provocative addition to this literature

Ludwig Wittgenstein and William James

The relationship between William James and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) has recently been the subject of intense scholarly research. We know for instance that the later Wittgenstein's reflections on the philosophy of psychology found in James a major source of inspiration. Not surprisingly therefore, the pragmatist nature of the philosophy of the later Wittgenstein is increasingly acknowledged, in spite of Wittgenstein’s adamant refusal of being labeled a “pragmatist”. In this brief paper I merely want to piece together some of the available evidence of Wittgenstein’s high regard for William James, not only for his thoughts, but even more so for his character

Wittgensteinian Perspectives and Science Education Research

As one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) has impacted a variety of scholarly disciplines, including education theory and research. Wittgenstein’s later works are often cited for their insights into a wide variety of philosophical topics, including meaning and understanding, rule following, the “inner” and “outer” realms of human activity, and certainty about knowledge. In contrast to the representationalist view of language expressed in his earlier work, these writings identify the meaning of an expression as its rule-governed use in language, inextricably tied to its use in our lives

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Legacy to Cognitive Psychology: Concepts as Participatory

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) is regarded as one of the most influential and eminent philosophers of the twentieth century. In both his early and later work, he is a key figure in the development of analytical philosophy: he wants us to see that natural language use is pivotal to understanding the nature of the mind. However, his later work, specifically with regard to the Philosophical Investigations (1953) [henceforth referred to as the Investigations], where concepts are a participating part of the context, makes him a key figure in contemporary cognitive psychology. While Wittgenstein’s interest in psychology began between 1934-1936 when he lectured on private experience and sense data, his contributions to the field of psychology continued up until his death in 1951. Unknown to Wittgenstein at the time, his remarks on philosophical psychology would have an enormous influence on both the psychology and philosophy disciplines

Skin diseases complicated by bacteria in dog: diagnosis and follow up. evaluation of antibiotic resistance

During the 3 years period of the PhD (2009-2011) a study on “Skin diseases complicated by bacteria in dog: diagnosis and follow up. Evaluation of antibiotic resistance “ has been developed. The study was conducted at the Department of Animal Health of the Veterinary Medicine Faculty of Parma. As first opinion cases, 204 dermatological canine patients have been examined. Subsequently, the same patients were re-examined every 3 weeks, depending on the owner compliance. The cases have been selected among canine patients with pathologies of the skin and cutaneous annexes. On these patients a dermatological examination has been carried out, cultural examination and antibiotic sensitivity testing by Kirby-Bauer method on the bacterial isolates. A panel of 27 antibiotic drugs were tested. Among a total of 121 bacterial isolates, a number of 96 (80%) were belonging to the Staphylococcus genus. Other isolates belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae family (n.15), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n. 6) and Pasteurella multocida (n. 3). A number of 34 staphyloccal strains were resistant to methicillin, wereas a number of 43 staphyloccal strains were resistant to oxacillin. Discordance were noted in the evaluation of methicillin /oxacillin activity in 20 cases. MecA expression, which confer resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, was confirmed in 17 cases by evaluation of the presence of the PBP2a by a latex agglutination test. Also the pathogenicity of 10 haemolytic strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates and their antibiotic resistances have been evaluated. For staphylococcal strains we noticed antibiotic activity in >50% for amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, cefadroxil, cefalexin, cloramphenicol, cloxacillin, doxiciclin, mupirocin, rifampicin and vancomicin; on the opposite, fluorochinolons had an activity on <50% of the isolated staphylococcal strains. 4 The application of a correct diagnostic protocol is strongly suggested to avoid the therapeutic failure and the emergence of antibiotic resistances , particularly in consideration of the zoonotic role of methicillin/oxacillin staphylococcal strain. This protocol is based on a complete dermatological evaluation, cultural examination and antibiotic testing

Sind Philosophen verrückt? - oder: Wittgenstein und das Lachen der thrakischen Magd - Zur Aktualität Ludwig Wittgensteins anlässlich seines 50. Todestages am 29.4.2001

Kein anderer österreichischer Philosoph hatte einen vergleichbaren Einfluss auf die Philosophiegeschichte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts wie Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Neben seinem einzigen zu Lebzeiten publizierten philosophischen Werk - dem 'Tractatus logico-philosophicus' (1919/ publiziert 1921) - , war es vor allem seine eigenwillige Persönlichkeit und Ausstrahlung, die ihn im Cambridge der 30er Jahre zu einer Legende und vielfach imitierten philosophischen Ikone werden ließen; - einer Legende zu der naturgemäß auch seine Herkunft aus einer steinreichen Industriellenfamilie des Wiener Großbürgertums, seine Jahre als Volksschullehrer in entlegenen Orten im südlichen Niederösterreich (1920-1926) und das für seine Schwester im 3. Bezirk erbaute und bis ins kleinste Detail von ihm geplante Haus, ihren Teil beitrugen. Was er aber in den Jahren ab 1929 als Philosophielehrer in Cambridge - ab 1939 Professor - entwickelte, war tatsächlich eine völlig neuartige und radikale Philosophie, deren breitere Rezeption erst langsam, nach der posthumen Publikation seines Hauptwerkes - den 'Philosophischen Untersuchungen' (1953 )- einsetzte und bis heute nicht abgeschlossen ist

The out-of-discourse in psychosis: the operation of Wittgenstein

El presente trabajo está enmarcado en el proyecto de investigación “La psicosis y el lazo social” (Facultad de Psicología, UNLP), donde buscamos revisar, a partir de lo que la clínica enseña, la afirmación lacaniana de que la psicosis está fuera de discurso. En esta oportunidad, nos adentramos en el texto lacaniano con el objetivo de analizar con qué fin Jacques Lacan toma como referencia la psicosis y los desarrollos teóricos de Ludwig Witggenstein (1889-1951) en el contexto de El Seminario XVII. El reverso del Psicoanálisis (1969-1970), momento donde presenta los cuatro discursos. Para ello trabajamos con dicho seminario así como con obras, cuadernos y diarios del filósofo.The present work is framed with in the research project “Psychosis and social link” (Facultad de Psicología UNLP), wherewe look to revise, startingfromtheteachingsoftheclinicalwork, the lacaniana firmation that psychosis is out of discourse. In this opportunity we go inside Lacan's text with the aim of analizing why Jacques Lacan takes as a reference psychosis and the theoretical developments of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) in the context of Lacan's Seminar XVII: L'envers de la psychanalise, where he presents the four discourses. For this purpose, we work with text, anotations and diaries made by the philosopher.Facultad de Psicologí

Aspecten van filosofische verklaring

Opzet van dit artikel is een antwoord te geven op de vraag wat de minimale vereisten zijn waaraan een verklaring moet voldoen om een filosofische verklaring te zijn. Achtereenvolgens gaan wij na hoe de filosofische verklaring zich verhoudt tot de andere activiteiten in het domein van de filosofie, en hoe zij zich verhoudt tot de verklaring in het domein van de wetenschap. Om de eigenheid van de filosofische verklaring duidelijk in het licht te stellen, nemen wij de ‘klassieke’ analyse van wetenschappelijke verklaringen als referentiepunt. Uit die ‘vergelijking’ blijkt dat de filosofische verklaring zich van de wetenschappelijke verklaring onderscheidt, niet door het soort vragen dat zij behandelt, maar door haar zuiver theoretische aard en door haar logica. Waar de wetenschappelijke verklaring ‘wat verklaring verlangt’ afleidt uit de uitleg, brengt de filosofie haar uitleg binnen in ‘wat zij wil verklaren’. Volledigheidshalve behandelen wij ook nog de vraag naar criteria waarmee wij de kwaliteit van een filosofische verklaring kunnen toetsen, en sluiten deze uiteenzetting af met een korte reflectie over het nut van de filosofie in het algemeen en van filosofische verklaringen in het bijzonder
