Ästhetik nach Wittgenstein - Eine systematische Rekonstruktion

Why does something please us? Is there right and wrong in aesthetics? What is the value of art? What do philosophical and aesthetic problems have in common? Wittgenstein worked intensively on these and other questions and wrote of the 'strange resemblance' between aesthetics and philosophy. This study shows how Wittgenstein's arguments have substantially contributed to explaining systematic questions in aesthetics.
