TEXT FROM LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN, A
UNIQUE PHILOSOPHER WITH A
PERFORMATIVE WRITING STYLE THAT
GREATLY BENEFITS FROM THIS
APPROACH. THEMES THAT ARE LIKELY
TO EMERGE INCLUDE THE PROCESSES OF
ORDINARY LANGUAGE, THE
MISUNDERSTANDINGS THAT EMERGE WHEN
LINGUISTIC ABSTRACTIONS ARE USED
TO REIFY THESE PROCESSES, AND
PROCESS-BASED METHODS OF
HUMANITIES INQUIRY.
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH

NECESSARY. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
CREDIT ARE ENTIRELY BASED ON
PARTICIPATION--NO WRITTEN
