Böcker av Jose L. Zalabardo

"Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the only book-length work to have been published during his lifetime, continues to generate interest and scholarly debate. This volume of new essays showcases contemporary ideas on how to interpret the Tractatus and throws new light on some of its most challenging passages"--

Jose L. Zalabardo presents a new account of central ideas in Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus on the structure of reality and our representations of it in thought and language. He explores Wittgenstein's picture theory of propositional representation, the unity of facts and propositions, and the nature of everyday propositions.

This book presents some of the central ideas and results in metalogic without presupposing a substantial mathematical background. It is primarily intended for use as a textbook in logic courses for students having mastered the contents of a standard introductory course in formal logic.

An introduction to the basic concepts and results of contemporary logic, including a discussion of the basic mathematical tools needed to master the technical aspects of the subject.
