"The purpose of this talk is two-fold. First, it will provide something of an introduction to the philosophical ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. I will not presuppose any familiarity with his work. Second, I will relate his ideas to the notion of self-expression: what kinds of limitations are there on what we would call "self-expression" (be it of a spoken, written, or traditionally "artistic" type)? The results are perhaps not what we would naively expect, and they have implications for how we characterize our relationships to others."
It will be held in Duda 202, from 4:00-6:00. (Actually, it will likely start around 4:15.)
Everyone is welcome to attend.
