Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in the Light of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
Smiešková, Kornélia ; Hill, James (advisor) ; Kolman, Vojtěch (referee)
The point of departure for the bachelor's work is the thesis that there is a certain paralel between Wittgenstein's early philosophy as it is presented in his work Tractatus and Kant's transcendental idealism. Wittgenstein's thesis that logic (and also philosophy) cannot be explicative and that it must take care of itself is based on a difference between factual and conceptual examination. This difference refers to empirical and transcendental use of concepts in Kant who claims that the knowledge of reality can be achieved only within our experience, through concepts that relate to the objects of experiential world. The aim of our work is to examine the above mentioned thesis and compare relevant parts of the main works by Kant and Wittgenstein (Tractatus logico - philosophicus, The Critique of Pure Reason) and focus on substantial parallels, possible connections but also differences, therefore the aim of the work is to examine the content not historical circumstances. The introductory parts will explain the concept of transcendental idealism, and the analysis of primary texts will follow, while the focus will be given to Tractatus and it will be put in context mainly with Kant's transcendental dialectics. Our procedure leads a dialogue with secondary literature.
