{"product_id":"remarks-on-colour-isbn-9780631116417","title":"Remarks on Colour","description":"This book comprises material on colour which was written by Wittgenstein in the last eighteen months of his life. 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 colours of flames, etc.) and of 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. \u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Wittgenstein's philosophy of color\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey concepts: color names, color space, seeing aspects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Philosophical Investigations on Color\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 1: Basic Color Concepts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe nature of color terms and their application\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe relationship between color and object\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCan we imagine impossible colors?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 2: Color Comparisons and Similarity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow we judge whether two colors are the same or different\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe role of context in color perception\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eColor illusions and their philosophical significance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 3: Language and Color Experience\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe limits of language in describing color\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrivate language arguments related to color\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe social construction of color categories\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection 4: Seeing Aspects and Color Perception\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe idea of \"seeing aspects\" and its application to color\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe relationship between perception and judgment in color\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Conclusion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSummary of key points regarding color and language\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOpen questions and further considerations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLudwig Wittgenstein\u003c\/b\u003e (1889-1951) was arguably the most influential philosopher of the twentieth century. He was born in Vienna, but studied and practiced philosophy in Great Britain. He was a professor of philosophy at the University of Cambridge from 1939 until 1947. He worked in and transformed the fields of logic, the philosophy of mathematics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnscombe\u003c\/b\u003e (1919-2001) read classics and philosophy at St Hugh's College, Oxford from 1937 to 1941 in which year she married the philosopher Peter Geach. She subsequently researched in philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge where she became a student and friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein. One of his literary executors, she played a large part in editing his unpublished works and was their principal English translator. In 1946 she returned to Oxford as a University Lecturer in 1951. From 1970 until her retirement in 1986 she held the Chair of Philosophy at Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989941698789,"sku":"NP9780631116417","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631116417.jpg?v=1761785976","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/remarks-on-colour-isbn-9780631116417","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
