Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilson, D. Wittgenstein's 'Picture-Theory' and the Aesthetic Experience of Clear Thoughts. Presented at 33rd International Ludwig Wittgenstein-Symposium, 2010, Kirchberg

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...
