Summary Moving beyond Wittgenstein's much heralded responsibility for the "death of man" debate begun in the course of the previous century, Subjectivity after Wittgenstein constructs a positive Wittgensteinian account of subjectivity and human nature. Drawing on his later writings, the book ranges across Wittgenstein's writings on philosophy of psychology and religion to articulate his notion of the post-Cartesian subject. In addition, the book answers the oft-repeated arguments that the anti-Cartesian turn in continental thought on the subject has lead to a loss of a centre for both ethics and polit.
