- W2091397476 abstract "Wittgenstein and Political Philosophy motivated by a deep dissatisfaction with the state of political science, and the social sciences generally. Contemporary political incapable of instructing us about the most important questions of politics-questions about how we ought to live. This deficiency one aspect of a more fundamental problem, the problem of the grounding of itself. Not only does teach us nothing about values, but it may also be unable to provide us with truth about the world. And it is but a short step from this to radical nihilism, which teaches that there are no values at all or that all values are equally worthless, and which opens the door to undreamed of brutality and destruction (p. 5). Professor Danford sets out to discover how it that we arrived at such a sorry state of affairs, and he does so by reconsidering the arguments our contemporary understanding of that were first advanced by Hobbes and Locke. By understanding these arguments, we may be in a position to see if and where they went wrong, so as to rescue ourselves from our predicament. Since Hobbes's understanding of was self-consciously presented in opposition to that of classical philosophy, if we find Hobbes's arguments inadequate, we may be able to draw upon the resources and methods of classical political in our reconstruction of political science. In Danford's interpretation of Hobbes, the key to his conception of political to be found in his empiricist conception of language, a conception articulated more fully and cogently by Locke than by Hobbes. In this view, according to Danford, words stand for conception or ideas that, in turn, are ultimately the results of sense impressions. Danford then turns to Wittgenstein the arguments with which to demolish this picture theory of meaning and the whole conception of science that rests on it, particularly Hobbes's ideas that seeks certain knowledge, and that its method analytical and reductionist. Having disposed of Hobbes and Locke, he then turns to the thinkers Hobbes rejected, Aristotle and Plato, in search of an alternative approach to the study of politics." @default.
