Colours in the Development of Wittgenstein's Philosophy
https://www.palgrave.com/br/book/9783319569185
This book presents and discusses the varying and seminal role which colour plays in the development of Wittgenstein's philosophy. Having once said that "Colours spur us to philosophize", the theme of colour was one to which Wittgenstein returned constantly throughout his career. Ranging from his Notebooks, 1914-1916 and the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the posthumously published Remarks on Colours and On Certainty, this book explores how both his view of philosophical problems generally and his view on colours specifically changed considerably over time. Paying particular attention to his so-called intermediary period, it takes a case-based approach to the presentation of colour in texts from this period, from Some Remarks on Logical Form and Philosophical Remarks to his Big Typescript.
Some endorsements:
"This superb volume addresses a significant gap in the literature on Wittgenstein: his remarks on colour during the crucial and fascinating 'middle period', including his 'phenomenological' period, between his 1929 return to philosophy and the shift a few years later towards that extraordinary mode of philosophising that issued in the Philosophical Investigations."
—Gary Kemp, Senior Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Glasgow, UK
"This is vital reading for anyone interested in the early, middle, and late Wittgenstein's philosophising about colour, as well as his reasons for philosophising about colour. The book contains important assessments also for those engaged in Wittgenstein Nachlass research and its implications for questions regarding editing Wittgenstein's writings."
—Alois Pichler, Professor of Philosophy, University of Bergen, Norway
"Even though Wittgenstein's treatment of colour is pivotal in his philosophy, there are only a few studies on the topic. Featuring inspiring essays by leading scholars in this area, Silva's collection is a remarkable contribution to rescue the epistemological and logical significance of a major philosophy of colour."
—Nuno Venturinha, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Nova University of Lisbon, Portugal
"This volume is an example of Wittgenstein's dictum 'Colours spur us to philosophize'. Not only does it prove the extent to which Wittgenstein thought about colour all his life. For a wider philosophical public it is of greatest significance since it makes the obstacles apparent any view will suffer from if it seeks to ground our colour concepts in anything but their usage."
—Gabriele M. Mras, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria
