Thought's footing
a theme in Wittgenstein's philosophical investigations
by Charles Travis
"Thought's Footing is an enquiry into the relationship between the ways things are and the way we think and talk about them. It is also a study of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations: Charles Travis develops his account of certain key themes into a unified view of the work as whole. His methodological starting-point is to see Wittgenstein's work as a response to Frege's." "Travis gives his own distinctive take on such topics as the problem of singular thought, the notion of a proposition, rule-following, sense and nonsense, the possibility of private language, and the representational content of experience. The result is an original demonstration of the continuing value of Wittgenstein's work for central debates in philosophy today."--Jacket.
