The Significance of Expression
Conference Description
A fundamental concern of the early and the later Wittgenstein is language and its significancefor philosophy. By centring on the concept of expression, and in particular on how this concept figures in the work of Wittgenstein, this workshop seeks to explore the ways in which attention to language can inform, and potentially transform our understanding of a range of philosophical concerns. These include: the nexus between mind and world; the asymmetry between self and other; the possibility of personal identity over time; the idea ofconceptual articulation; and the very idea of a theory of meaning.
