+ | [[Alain]] [[Badiou]] takes on the standard bearer of the “[[linguistic]] turn” in modern philosophy, and anatomizes the “antiphilosophy” of [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]], in his ''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus''. Addressing the crucial [[moment]] where Wittgenstein argues that much has to be passed over in silence—showing what cannot be said, after accepting the limits of [[language]] and meaning—Badiou argues that this mystical act reduces [[logic]] to [[rhetoric]], [[truth]] to an effect of language [[games]], and philosophy to a series of esoteric aphorisms. in the course of his interrogation of Wittgenstein’s anti-philosophy, Badiou sets out and refines his own definitions of the [[universal]] truths that condition philosophy. Bruno Bosteels’ introduction shows that this [[encounter]] with Wittgenstein is central to Badiou’s overall project—and that a continuing dialogue with the exemplar of anti-philosophy is crucial for contemporary philosophy. |
