THE METAPHILOSOPHY OF FRIEDRICH WAISMANN

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

EN

Friedrich Waismann was a rather tragic thinker of the past century, who spent the first part of his life in Austria as a member of the Vienna Circle, and then emigrated to England, where he finally settled in Oxford and became associated with its postwar ordinary language philosophy. The paper provides a brief account of Waismann’s life and scholarly achievements, presents an outline of his conception of philosophy, and discusses various criticisms and interpretations of his metaphilosophy. It is emphasized that his significance for the development of analytical philosophy should not be reduced to a more or less faithful exposition of the ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
