Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 6x1x9; [From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey. ] Hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. x, 302 p., 23 cm. Outlines the basic tenets of Wittgenstein's later philosophy and how it can be used to clarify the forms of explanation that are logically appropriate to the subject matter of humanistic disciplines. 'Theory, ' they conclude, is not one of these. More specialized case studies employ Wittgenstein's philosophical methods to diagnose conceptual confusions at the heart of well-known theoretical paradigms currently employed in the study of the arts, such as psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, structuralism, and deconstruction. "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation."-Johns Hopkins University.
