پارادوکس مفهوم «اسب» و تحقیقات مفهومی ویتگنشتاین: مقدمه‌ای بر تحقیقات فلسفی (مطالعات ویتگنشتاینی اشگیت)

In The Foundations of Arithmetic, Gottlob Frege contended that the difference between concepts and objects was absolute. He meant that no object could be a concept and no concept an object. Benno Kerry disagreed; he contended that a concept could be an object, and that therefore the difference between concepts and objects was only relative. In this book, Jolley aims to understand the debate between Frege and Kerry. But Jolley's purpose is not so much to champion either side; rather, it is to utilize an understanding of the debate to shed light on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein-and vice versa. Jolley not only sifts through the debate between Frege and Kerry, but also through subsequent versions of the debate in J. J. Valberg and Wilfred Sellars. Jolley's goal is to show that the central notion of Philosophical Investigations, that of a 'conceptual investigation', is a legacy of the Frege/Kerry debate and also a contribution to it. Jolley concludes that the difference between concepts and objects is as absolute in its way in Philosophical Investigations as it was in The Foundations of Arithmetic and that recognizing the absoluteness of the difference in Philosophical Investigations provides a beginning for a 'resolute' reading of Wittgenstein's book. The Concept "Horse" Paradox played a central role in the debate between philosophers Benno Kerry and Gottlob Frege over whether the difference between concepts and objects were absolute or relative. Jolley (philosophy, Auburn U.) explores the debate between Kerry and Frege and subsequent iterations of the debate in the works of other philosophers, relating these arguments to Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. Jolley argues that the "conceptual investigation" idea found in Wittgenstein's work was influenced by the Kerry/Frege debate and comes down on the side of absolute difference--an argument that holds significant implications for the understanding of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations itself In this book, Jolley aims to understand the 'concept horse' debate between Frege and Kerry. But Jolley's purpose is not so much to champion either side; rather, it is to utilize an understanding of the debate to shed light on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein-and vice versa. Jolley not only sifts through the debate between Frege and Kerry, but also through subsequent versions of the debate in J. J. Valberg and Wilfrid Sellars.
