{"product_id":"limits-of-intelligibility-issues-from-kant-and-wittgenstein","title":"Limits of Intelligibility","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this volume investigate the question of where, and in what sense, the bounds of intelligible thought, knowledge, and speech are to be drawn. Is there a way in which we are \u003ci\u003elimited\u003c\/i\u003e in what we think, know, and say? And if so, does this mean that we are \u003ci\u003econstrained—\u003c\/i\u003ethat there is something beyond the ken of human intelligibility of which we fall short? Or is there another way to think about these limits of intelligibility—namely, as \u003ci\u003econditions\u003c\/i\u003e of our meaning and knowing anything, beyond which there is no specifiable thing we cannot do?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese issues feature prominently in the writings of Kant and Wittgenstein who each engaged with them in unique and striking ways. Their thoughts on the matter remain provocative and stimulating, and accordingly, the contributions to this volume address the issues surrounding the limits of intelligibility both exegetically and systematically: they examine how they figure in Kant’s and Wittgenstein’s most significant works and put them in touch with contemporary debates that are shaped by their legacy. These debates concern, \u003ci\u003einter alia\u003c\/i\u003e, logically and morally alien thought, the semantics and philosophy of negation, disjunctivism in philosophy of perception and ethics, paraconsistent approaches to contradiction, and the relation between art, literature, and philosophy. The book is divided into four parts: Part I gives a first assessment of the issues, Part II examines limits as they feature in Kant, Part III as they feature in Wittgenstein, and Part IV suggests some ways in which the questions might be reconsidered, drawing upon ideas in phenomenology, dialetheism, metamathematics, and the works of other influential authors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLimits of Intelligibility\u003c\/i\u003e provides insight into a theme that is central to the thought of two of the most important figures in modern philosophy, as well as to recent metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of logic, epistemology, and ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49782261580120,"sku":"9780367695286","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367695286_77ad682b-4e4c-41e1-885c-229e04d17999.jpg?v=1768320025","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/limits-of-intelligibility-issues-from-kant-and-wittgenstein","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
