Social Inquiry After Wittgenstein and Kuhn

Delve into the thought-provoking exploration of philosophy as social inquiry in "Social Inquiry After Wittgenstein and Kuhn" by John G. Gunnell, published by Columbia University Press in 2014. This engaging hardback edition spans 280 pages and examines the transformative shift in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy post-1930.

This compelling book not only challenges traditional notions of philosophical discourse but also invites readers to reconsider the significance of social contexts in the development of thought. Ideal for scholars and anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, science, and society, this work is a must-have addition to your intellectual library.
