Book Description
Signe Gjessing's highly original reconfiguration of Wittgenstein's Tractatus unfolds at once logically and lyrically on the trembling cusp where philosophy and poetry intersect. Her witty, haunting propositions shimmer between the profound and the puzzling, and beautifully enact Wallace Stevens's assertion that 'Life's nonsense pierces us with strange relation' - Mark Ford Fuelled both by logic and intuition, luxuriance and clarity, ecstasy and precision, this long poem unfurls, fractal-like, to amass moments of confounding, generative insight and beauty - Ralf Webb Signe Gjessing is a wild voice in new Danish poetry, always closely connected to the symbolic tradition and cosmos - Naja Marie Aidt

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...expresses the truth-conditions of the proposition. The proposition is the expression of its truthconditions. (Frege has therefore quite rightly put them at the beginning, as explaining the signs of his logical symbolism. Only Frege's explanation of the truth-concept is false: if "the true" and "the false" were real objects and the arguments in p, etc., then the sense of p would by no means be determined by Frege's determination.) 4.44 The sign which arises from the co-ordination of that mark T" with the truth-possibilities is a propositional sign. 4.441 It is clear that to the complex of the signs "F" and "T" no object (or complex of objects) corresponds; any more than to horizontal and vertical lines or to brackets. There are no "logical objects ." Something analogous holds of course for all signs, which express the same as the schemata of "T"and "F ." 4.442 Thus e.g. P q T T T F T T T F F F T is a propositional sign. (Frege's assertion sign "-" is logically altogether bedeutungslos; er zeigt bei Frege (und Russell) nur an, dass diese Autoren die so bezeichneten Satze fur wahr halten. (-" gehort daher ebenso wenig zum Satzgefiige, wie etwa die Nummer des Satzes. Ein Satz kann unmoglich von sich selbst aussagen, dass er wahr ist.) 1st die Reihenfolge der Wahrheitsmoglichkeiten im Schema durch eine Kombinationsregel ein fur allemal festgesetzt, dann ist die letzte Kolonne allein schon ein Ausdruck der Wahrheitsbedingungen. Schreiben wir diese Kolonne als Reihe hin, so wird das Satzzeichen zu: (WW-W) (p, q)" oder deutlicher (WWFW) (p.q)." (Die Anzahl der Stellen in der linken Klammer ist durch die Anzahl der Glieder in...

Book Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
