Atkinson intends to elucidate Wittgenstein’s thoughts on the mystical in his early writings as they pertain to a number of topics such as, God, the meaning of life, reality, the eternal and the solipsistic self.</p> <p>Acknowledgments</p><p>Introduction </p><p>Chapter 1: Self-subsistence and Method </p><p>Chapter 2: What cannot be put into Words, Method and Mysticism </p><p>Chapter 3: Language, Method and Mysticism </p><p>Chapter 4: Showing and Wittgenstein’s Two Objections to Russell’s </p><p>Theory of Types </p><p>Chapter 5: Two Senses of Showing </p><p>Chapter 6: The Mystical and Showing </p><p>Chapter 7: Time and The Mystical </p><p>Chapter 8: Mysticism and the Problems of Philosophy </p><p>Chapter 9: Nonsense and Two Interpretations of the Tractatus </p><p>Chapter 10: Metaphysics and the Mystical </p><p>Chapter 11: The Mystical and the Meaning of Life</p><p>Conclusion: Silence </p><p>Bibliography</p><p>Index </p>
