After Wittgenstein (2021/rev. & improv. 2024)

The revision and improvement of this text from 2021 ist a direct reaction to the publication of a collection of essays on LW by my friend Hanjo Glock (>Normativity, Meaning and Philosophie< Anthem Press 2024). It presents a comprehensive alternative to his (and Hacker's) treatment of LW as a >philosopher of language<, which I consider as narrwow and against the spririt of the achievements of a philosopher who belongs into the rank of Plato, Aristotle and Kant and, in Cambridge, never taught on >philosophy of language<, but always on simply >philosophy< (sometimes >for mathematicians<).

As Glock I believe that philosophy could and should learn (rather:have learnt) from LW, but where Glock polemicizes against "the myth of mere method" (221 sq.) without bothering to explain the connection of the general method in transition from questions of truth to questions of sense (MS 106 46) and the many dialogical-dialectical methods LW appllies in fact, I explain the connections and believe that these methods are mainly what philosophy should learn. This interpretation has the merit of being in agreement with LW's own appraisal of his achievement in a lecture of 1934 (AWL).
