Bücher von Rom Harré

In this book Harr nd Tissaw display Wittgenstein's analysis of the 'grammar' of the most important of these concepts in a systematic and accessible way. Previous studies of the psychological aspects of Wittgenstein's writings, admirable as exegeses of his thought, have paid little attention to the relevant psychology. Here, the 'adjacent' theories and empirical investigations from mainstream psychology have been described in sufficient detail to show how Wittgenstein's work impinges on psychology as it has actually been practiced.

This volume focuses on relations between the self and other individuals, the self and groups, and the self and context.

This book combines the biopic with the significance of the major protagonists, organized by 'schools of thought'.
