Description
Wittgenstein on Colour explores one of the most distinctive and challenging aspects of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophical work. Andrew Lugg traces the development of Wittgenstein’s thoughts on color across three decades, from his early logical atomism through his later ordinary language philosophy.
The book examines how Wittgenstein approached fundamental questions about color: What is the nature of color concepts? How do colors relate to language and meaning? Why did Wittgenstein devote significant attention to seemingly simple phenomena like color gradations and relationships?
Lugg demonstrates that Wittgenstein’s reflections on color were far from peripheral concerns but rather central to his broader philosophical project. The analysis covers key texts including the Tractatus, Philosophical Investigations, and Wittgenstein’s dedicated manuscript on color. This Element provides essential reading for scholars of Wittgenstein, philosophy of language, and aesthetics.
