This work establishes Wittgenstein’s early work in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as an invaluable source for exploring current debate on analytic philosophy in its origins, history, limits and relations with European philosophy. Drawing together new work from leading researchers in the field - including Conant, Diamond, Monk and Glock - this timely reader offers a resource for exploring the Tractatus’ connections to approaches other than logical positivism, mathematical logic and formal semantics.

Elucidates the difference knowledge makes to our existence as civilized people. Advancing detailed criticism of philosophy’s usual approach to knowledge, Knowledge and Civilization offers a new, original way of framing philosophical questions about knowledge. It describes a redirection in the philosophy of knowledge, away from textbook problems of epistemology, toward an ecological philosophy of technology and civilization.

The authors take account of historical developments and key issues and ideas in their social, political, economic and global context. Areas examined include labour process issues, gender and other identities, flexibility and globalisation. More recent post-st
