Bücher der Reihe Lisbon Philosophical Studies - Uses of Languages in Interdisciplinary Fields

All the chapters in this volume somehow and quite diversely, directly or indirectly, address the relation of Wittgenstein's philosophy, or at least of Wittgenstein- inspired philosophical thought, with scepticism, here generally envisaged as a many-sided tradition and not as a uniform and once for all established theoretical posture.

This book discusses values and the exercise of practical rationality. The main feature of the research is the multiplicity of approaches of the exercise of practical rationality and the consideration of different spheres of values, that is the ethical, political and aesthetic ones.

Suitable for philosophers, linguists, and graduate students of philosophy of language and linguistics, this title covers a range of issues in semantics and pragmatics such as presuppositions, reference, lexical meaning, discourse relations and information structure, negation, and metaphors.

Taking J.W. von Goethe's morphological and poetic thought as matrix, this volume presents eighteen articles by contributors coming from philosophy, art history, history, mathematics, demography and architecture focusing on Goethe's approach to science and art, to question and strengthen nowadays epistemological paradigm and contemporary aesthetics.
