Linguistic Analysis and Metaphysics

Axel Hutter

An Introduction To Modern Philosophy

Axel Hutter shows, in an accessible and original way, that the ‘metaphysical’ is illustrating how language and metaphysics are self-evident facts, existing right there in front of our eyes. But it is precisely because they seem so self-evident (and thus remain hidden) that philosophy is necessary.

Axel Hutter’s book is an unusually accessible and exciting introduction to modern philosophy. It begins with the so-called linguistic analytic turn associated mainly with Frege and Wittgenstein. Hutter shows how this modern turn towards language in philosophy gives rise to a new approach to metaphysics. His introduction convincingly promotes a way of thinking which has had a decisive influence on modern philosophy.
