(P/B) REMARKS ON COLOUR

Παρουσίαση

This book comprises material on colour which was written by Wittgenstein in the last eighteen months of his life: material which has been eagerly awaited by the philosophical community. It is one of the few documents which shows him concentratedly at work on a single philosophical issue. The principal theme is the features of different colours, of different Kinds of colour (metallic colour, the colour of flames, etc) and luminosity - a theme which Wittgenstein treats in such a way as to destroy the traditional idea that colour is a simple and logically uniform Kind of thing.
