A somewhat novel reading of Wittgenstein's Tractatus is offered us by Ahmet Suner, a professor at Yasar University in Turkey.
I confess that I had never heard of Yasar University, and it even came as something of a surprise to me that a close reading of the early Wittgenstein can be found in the work of a Turkish scholar -- but that is a righteous rebuke to my provincialism.

The western world has no business hogging Wittgenstein to ourselves, after all.
To save other readers from the confusion that I experienced, the document is on pages 7 through 26 of the pdf.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for covering my article. I was wondering whether I could reach you by email. With my best wishes, Ahmet Süner.
