In establishing unexpected cross-connections between physics, the theory of perception, and logic, Hyder also makes a valuable contribution to the history of 19th century science. In particular, the links he establishes between early sensory physiology and the logicism of Russell and Frege yield a sharper and more plausible account of the notion of a \"space\" of possible meanings than has hitherto been available in the secondary literature. In showing this notion to be a formal precursor to that of a language game, the study also provides important pointers for the interpretation of Wittgenstein's late work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45547901681815,"sku":"9783110172188","price":12701.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110172188.webp?v=1767464577","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-mechanics-of-meaning-propositional-content-and-the-logical-space-of-wittgensteins-tractatus-9783110172188","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
