  • Dialectic of the Ladder

    Wittgenstein, the 'Tractatus' and Modernism

    by Ben Ware ...
    Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922) remains one of the most enigmatic works of twentieth century thought.

  • Indian Philosophy of Language

    Studies in Selected Issues

    by Mark Siderits ...
