Observações Sobre os Fundamentos da Matemática - L. Wittgenstein
Bemerkungen über die Grundlagen der Mathematik - L. Wittgenstein
This research project consists mainly
in a pair of related items: the first is to provide the necessary means to
deliver in a critical edition a bilingual and commented translation (German-Portuguese)
of the Wittgensteinian text denominated by its original editors as “Remarks on the Foundations
of Mathematics”; the second is to take seriously the author’s literary style
rendering the text through his own concept of “physiognomy”. About the first aim,
the purpose is to collect the set of manuscripts and typescrits composed on the
subject between 1937 and 1944 for a work of comparison among primary and more
elaborated versions, as well as later cuttings, handwritten notes on the
typescripts, and lectures on the subject around the same time. About the second
aim, that is to see in what sense Wittgenstein conceived his grammatical
investigation on logic and mathematics as a morphology, i.e., not only taking
mathematicians as inventors rather than discoverers, but as a philosophical
activity guided by a double condition of authenticity and recognition. This
sort of comprehension is necessary to understand the text not as a cognitive
piece of discussion, which can lead to serious misunderstandings about the nature
of his investigations, but as a work on oneself through writing about
philosophical puzzles, or as an ethical/aesthetic philosophical performance
whose objective is to leave mathematics as it is while it is liberated from a
variety of philosophical confusions.
