11th Wittgenstein Summer School
Kirchberg am Wechsel, Lower Austria
Jul 30-Aug 3, 2019
Course Description
I. Schedule and format of the workshop
The workshop is divided up into fourteen sessions, each of which is 90 minutes long. These sessions will meet at the times specified on the schedule and will cover the sections of Philosophical Investigations specified in the syllabus. The language of the seminar will be English. However, all readings will be made available in German in those cases in which German is the original language of the text.
Our plan is to have the three instructors speak jointly at the beginning of each session, introducing those sections of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and raising some questions about them, followed by some open discussion of those sections and questions.
The first and last sessions will be devoted to an introductory overview and a final discussion of the material. The other sessions will each take up a handful of sections, with Cora Diamond, Jim Conant and Martin Gustafsson occasionally switching off as the primary introducer of the session.
