Wittgenstein, Education and the Problem of Rationality

Meer over het boek

A historicist and non-foundationalist view of rationality is explored through an interpretation of Wittgenstein's later works, particularly in relation to educational theory. The author critiques the analytic philosophy of education for misinterpreting Wittgenstein, which leads to a flawed universal conception of rationality. Instead, the book advocates for a constitutive notion that is historical and cultural, aligning with broader philosophical trends. It aims to replace the universal view with a Hegelian interpretation of Wittgenstein, highlighting his anti-foundationalist stance.
