The Many Faces of Sociological Interpretation: The Unity of Nyíri's Thought
In Tamás Demeter (ed.), Essays on Wittgenstein and Austrian Philosophy. Rodopi (2004)
| Abstract | J.C. Nyíri’s work is well-known for his interpretation of Wittgenstein as a conservative thinker. Nevertheless, his reading of Wittgenstein is only one strand, even if presumably the most influential one, in his general interpretation of Austro-Hungarian philosophy. Therefore his reading of Wittgenstein is best understood if viewed as part of a complex, sociologically inspired picture of Austrian philosophy. In this introductory essay I present Nyíri’s work as an exercise in the sociology of philosophical knowledge, broadly understood, and provide a unified view on his attempt by exploring its various strands. | |||||||||
