Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilson, D. (2011). Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts. In R. Heinrich, E. Nemeth, W. Pichler, & D. Wagner (Eds.), Image and Imaging in Philosophy, Science and the Arts. Volume 1 (143-161). https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110330519.143

In the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Wittgenstein appeals to clarity when he characterises the aim, task and results of philosophy. In this essay I suggest that his ‘picture theory’ of language implies that clarity has aesthetic significance in phil...
