Omschrijving
The Logical Must is an examination of Wittgenstein's philosophy of logic, early and late, from an austere naturalistic perspective called "Second Philosophy."
Most books and articles on Wittgenstein are written by Wittgenstein-philes or Wittgenstein-phobes. By steering clear of those complementary pitfalls, this book provides a remarkably clear and thought-provoking interpretation of Wittgenstein's philosophy of logic. It deserves the attention, not only of Wittgenstein interpreters, but also of anyone with an interest in the philosophy of logic or the history of twientieth century philosophy. ... In its succinct ambitiousness, the book follows in the language of two other exemplary short books on Wittgenstein, Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language (Kripke 1982) and Taking Wittgenstein at his Word (Fogelin 2009). ... It is precisely the strength of these short and focused books that they each, in their own way, hit the nail on the head, and so provide an opportunity for others to 'come and do it better', as Wittgenstein put it in the preface to the Tractatus.
Maddy's project is as much an attempt to deepen our understanding of Second Philosophy as to sharpen our reading of Wittgenstein. The book is very enjoyable to read. The style is straightforward, the argumentation crystalline, and the discussion insightful. Furthermore, Maddy perfectly succeds in making The Logical Must a self-contained work, saying just as much about the previous episodes as is necessary to let us follow the new story.
