Overview"Wittgenstein observes that certain imaginative pictures can seem so obvious, so self-evident, that they ""force"" themselves on us. The picture that ""held us captive"" here was a conception of the isolated ego, the contents of whose mind are transparent to its knowing, while contact with the world is mediated by some kind of ""representation."" This mind-world dualism, which pictures a contrast between ""inner"" and ""outer,"" has exercised a ""powerful imaginative hold"" in theology.2 Indeed, by opening the Philosophical Investigations with a passage from Augustine's Confessions, Wittgenstein touched a nerve in theological anthropology. He thus ""plac[ed] his explorations of the epistemological predicament of the self in the context of a narrative which, as it interweaves biblical language with metaphysical dualism, autobiography with doxology, establishes the sense of the 'I' in the sight of God which remains the paradigm for the self even where the theology has been abandoned.""3" Full Product DetailsAuthor: D Michael CoxPublisher: Abhimanyuhb2 Imprint: Abhimanyuhb2 Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 2.40cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.617kg ISBN: 9781835203613ISBN 10: 1835203612 Pages: 466 Publication Date: 17 July 2023 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable  The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
