Summary If we read Ludwig Wittgenstein's works and take his scientific formation in mathematical logic into account, it comes as a surprise that he ever developed a particular interest in anthropological questions. The following questions immediately arise: What role does anthropology play in Wittgenstein's work? How do problems concerning mankind as a whole relate to his philosophy? How does his approach relate to philosophical anthropology? How does he view classical issues about Man's affairs and actions? The aim of this book is to investigate the anthropological questions that Wittgenstein raised
Notes "This volume is a collection of papers which were read at the International Congress held at the University of Castilla-La Mancha in Toledo (Spain), in September 2009, under the general subject of anthropology."--Page 14
