Gordon P. Baker

    Gordon Park Baker bol filozof známý svojim hlbokým záujmom o tradíciu analytickej filozofie. Jeho práca sa zameriavala na kľúčové postavy, ako boli Ludwig Wittgenstein a Gottlob Frege, a tiež na významné prúdy myslenia, vrátane Viedenského krúžku. Baker bol cenený pre svoju precíznu analýzu filozofických argumentov a štýl písania, ktorý osvetľoval zložité myšlienky. Jeho intelektuálne dedičstvo spočíva v jeho schopnosti prepájať a objasňovať zložité filozofické debaty.

    An Analytical Commentary on the 'Philosophical Investigations'
    • This third volume of the monumental commentary on Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations covers sections 243-427, which constitute the heart of the book. Like the previous volumes, it consists of philosophical essays and exegesis. The thirteen essays cover all the major themes of this part of Wittgenstein's masterpiece: the private language arguments, privacy, avowals and descriptions, private ostensive definition, criteria, minds and machines, behavior and behaviorism, the self, the inner and the outer, thinking, consciounesss, and the imagination. The exegesis clarifies and evaluates Wittgenstein's arguments, drawing extensively on all the unpublished papers, examining the evolution of his ideas in manuscript sources and definitively settling many controversies about the interpretation of the published text. This commentary, like its predecessors, is indispensable for the study of Wittgenstein and is essential reading for students of the philosophy of mind. A fourth and final volume, entitled Wittgenstein: Mind and Will will complete the commentary.
