Description

The book proposes to see the talk about rules-following as a way of giving an account of particular people�s characters and their lives. This focus on understanding others as variously coping with the claims of particular rules attempts to specify the variety of “attitudes towards a soul” as discussed in the Wittgensteinian tradition. The book derives from the philosophical tradition that considers human beings as rule-following creatures. It suggests that rules followed by other people allow for understanding and sympathising with them. Coping with rules is explored as a complicated lived practice, with respect to: particularised rules holding in relation to a context or to individual people, the variety of our responses to rules we are subject to, or our failure in coping with them.Typham this is the title: Living with Rules Wittgensteinian Reflections on Normativity 1st Edition
