The Logic of Words - A Treatise on Wittgenstein and the Speech Act

What comes before a fact? And what makes words meaningful in the first place? Ludwig Wittgenstein began his Tractatus with the world as it is. But what if the very possibility of describing the world rests on something more fundamental? The Logic of Words challenges the foundations of logical representation, linguistic meaning, and speech acts. In dialogue with Wittgenstein, McDowell, Austin, Searle, and Kripke, it explores a deceptively simple possibility: that distinctions do not merely describe an already determined world, but make determination itself possible. From the touch of a windowpane to the paradox of a liar, the text follows a question that reaches beyond the limits of language: Before we can say what is the case, what must first become distinguishable?
