The Paris Wittgenstein group

Resumen

Our group has been working on Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle for many years. We started with Wittgenstein. Just reading. Then, to understand him better, we decided to know more about the Vienna Circle philosophical movement and socio-political context. After an International Colloquium (on "Vienna Circle: Doctrines and Controversies", Créteil-Paris, 1983, published by Klincksieck, 1986) and some editing and translation work (Manifeste du Cercle de Vi enne, PUF, 1985), we felt ready to get back to Wittgenstein, although not so much Wittgenstein I or Wittgenstein II as two separate peri ods, but Wittgenstein "in transition", whose grammatical turn helps to understand the unity of his thought.
