Welcome to the Young Network for Wittgensteinian Philosophy!
Our global community is a vibrant space for young philosophers, students, and enthusiasts devoted to exploring and advancing the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein - one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
Through our network, we delve into Wittgenstein's thought-provoking ideas spanning language, logic, mind, mathematics, and culture. Whether you're fascinated by his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the later Philosophical Investigations, or his significant contributions to the philosophy of mind and language, this platform provides an enriching environment to delve deeper into these complex explorations. This network does not focus only on exegetical work, but aims to apply the ideas found in Wittgenstein's work to contemporary philosophical issues!
The YNWP is committed to fostering an atmosphere of open discussion and intellectual growth. We provide various avenues for engagement including online forums, study groups, webinars, and annual conferences. Additionally, members have the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their own research during our monthly colloquium.
Whether you're a novice just beginning your journey into Wittgenstein's philosophy or an academic looking to share your ideas, our network offers a unique opportunity for collaboration, mentorship, and academic development.
Join us today, and immerse yourself in the rich world of Wittgensteinian philosophy. Together, we can push the boundaries of understanding and illuminate the complexities of our shared human experience through the lens of Wittgenstein's enduring wisdom.
"Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language." - Ludwig Wittgenstein
