Descrição
“Generous, careful and clearly argued book… [which] deserves a very guide circulation, and could serve as the prototype for a whole new genre of analysis in political theory.
An increasing number of philosophers believe that Wittgenstein,s work is somehow relevant to questions in social and political philosophy. And this for all that Wittgenstein himself wrote nothing in political philosophy.
Hanna Pitkin has tried to show, in fair detail, how this belief might be justified… I believe Pitkin has done both political theory and philosophy a good turn with her book and that the kind of communication between the two disciplines which her work reflects is deserving of strong encouragement.
