| Wittgenstein on the Arbitrariness of Grammar What is the nature of a conceptual scheme? Are there alternative conceptual schemes? If so, are some more justifiable or correct than others? The later Wittgenstein already addresses these fundamental philosophical questions under the general rubric of "grammar" and the question of its "arbitrariness"--and does so with great subtlety. This book explores Wittgenstein's views on these questions. Michael N. Forster is Professor of Philosophy and Chairman of the Philosophy Department at the University of Chicago. |
