Language and World Proceedings of the 32th [sic] International Wittgenstein-Symposium in Kirchberg, 2009

This second of two volumes brings together invited papers of the 32nd International Wittgenstein Symposium. The collection not only contains articles related to some of Wittgenstein's central arguments but also holds contributions that deal with the role and function of signs, as well as with the relations between language and action, consciousness and metaphysics. An interdisciplinary workshop was dedicated to "Wittgenstein and Literature," an area of study which has been prominent in the philosophical discourse of the last decade.
