Heidegger's Crisis

Philosophy and politics make uneasy bedfellows. Nowhere has this been more true than in Nazi Germany, where the pursuit of truth and the will to power became fatally entangled. Though Martin Heidegger's Nazi past is well known and much debated, less is understood about the role of philosophy - and other philosophers - in the rise and development of National Socialism.

Wittgenstein’s Liberatory Philosophy

  • Publisher: Routledge

In this book, Rupert Read offers the first outline of a resolute reading, following the highly influential New Wittgenstein ‘school’, of the Philosophical Investigations. He argues that the key to understanding Wittgenstein’s later philosophy is to understand its liberatory purport. Read contends that a resolute reading coincides in its fundaments with what, building on ideas in the later Gordon Baker, he calls a liberatory reading. Liberatory philosophy is philosophy that can liberate the user from compulsive (and destructive) patterns of thought, freeing one for possibilities that were previously obscured. Such liberation is our prime goal in philosophy. This book consists in a seque...

He is thought to have introduced-and made crucial contributions to-the project of giving an account of the workings of natural language. Yet, despite the great admiration most contemporary philosophers feel for Frege, it also is widely believed that he committed a large number of serious, and inexplicable, blunders. If Frege really meant to be constructing a theory of the working of natural language, then a significant number of his stated views-including views he portrayed as central to his philosophical picture-are straightforwardly wrong. But did Frege really mean to be giving an account of the workings of language? He never explicitly said so. And, as Joan Weiner shows in Taking Frege at his Word, if we take seriously Frege's own accounts of what he means to be doing, a very different and exciting philosophical project comes into view. The apparent blunders in his writings turn out not to be blunders at all. Moreover, far from turning Frege's writings into an object of purely antiquarian interest, the Frege Weiner uncovers has on offer new ways of addressing of important contemporary philosophical problems.
