Book Synopsis Wittgenstein, Empiricism, and Language by : John Webber Cook
Book excerpt: Another source is the fact that many philosophers share Wittgenstein's assumption that empiricism, far from being a weird view of things, reflects the ways in which we commonly think and talk about ourselves and the world. Because Wittgenstein's chief expositors tend to share this false assumption, they are prevented from recognizing that Wittgenstein, who claimed to be bringing words back from their metaphysical to their everyday use, did nothing of the sort."--BOOK JACKET.
