Mehr zum Buch

Wittgenstein's exploration of perception in the Philosophical Investigations reveals two significant claims.

Second, this critique remains relevant today, as it addresses contemporary debates about first-person authority and perception, highlighting the ongoing temptation to conflate phenomenal experiences with physical realities.
