Description
David R. Cerbone’s examination of Wittgenstein’s approach to realism and idealism offers a nuanced understanding of one of philosophy’s most fundamental debates. Rather than positioning Wittgenstein as a straightforward advocate for either position, Cerbone reveals how the philosopher’s work systematically undermines the traditional assumptions underlying both perspectives.
This volume traces Wittgenstein’s evolving treatment of realism and idealism across his major works, demonstrating how his later philosophy particularly dissolves rather than resolves the apparent conflict between these positions. Cerbone argues that Wittgenstein’s therapeutic approach to philosophical problems reshapes how we should understand the very question of realism versus idealism.
As part of the Elements series, this accessible yet rigorous study provides scholars and advanced students with essential insights into Wittgenstein’s metaphysical commitments and his revolutionary impact on contemporary philosophy.
