Wittgenstein, Theory and the Arts

This is the first full exploration of the implications of Wittgenstein's philosophy for understanding the arts and cultural criticism. These original essays by philosophers and critics address key philosophical topics in the study of the arts and culture, such as humanism, criticism, psychology, painting, film and ethics. All exemplify Wittgenstein's method of conceptual investigation and highlight his notion of philosophy as a cure.Allen, Richard is the author of 'Wittgenstein, Theory and the Arts', published 2002 under ISBN 9780415228756 and ISBN 0415228751.
