- W288137281 abstract "Author(s): Sanchez, Jr., Robert Eli | Advisor(s): Reck, Erich; Wright, Larry | Abstract: Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus is one of most enigmatic works of philosophy ever published. According to Wittgenstein, even those for whom it was meant - Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege - did not grasp its main point. In this dissertation, I argue that Tractatus is so enigmatic and yet so engaging because, although it represents a pivotal moment in philosophy of language and logic, it is also a major ethical and aesthetic achievement. That is, I hope to show that although Tractatus is a response to problems raised by Russell and Frege, its aim and form are essential to grasping its solution. However, it is difficult to discern significance of Wittgenstein's aim and style in text itself; so, to illustrate nature of difficulty of Tractatus, I compare it to philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard and Socrates. In particular, I argue that interpretive difficulties surrounding Tractatus resemble what has come to be called the Socratic problem, and what should be recognized as the Kierkegaardian problem. The Socratic problem is that it is virtually impossible to distinguish Socrates' voice from many who have written about him, since he did not write his own philosophy. Similarly, what I call the Kierkegaardian problem consists in fact that although Kierkegaard did write his own philosophy, it is virtually impossible to identify his own voice behind voices of his many pseudonyms. So, I hope to show that, like Socrates and Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein did not say enough to settle disagreements about what he actually believed - that is, he creates what we might call the Wittgensteinian problem. What unifies three problems, moreover, is that they each represent a kind of irony and silence, which Kierkegaard thought is essential to ethics, philosophy, and life. One aim of dissertation is to uncover virtues of irony and silence in philosophy. Although there are many virtues, perhaps most important is that they challenge common assumption underlying traditional philosophy that philosophy is valuable only if it presents clear arguments in favor of clear theses or views." @default.
