This Wittgenstein Reading Group meets about one a month in term times at St Hilda's College, Oxford UK.

Meetings are from 4.45pm-6.45pm.

They consist of discussion of about 20 pages of text which members have read beforehand.

Members include fellows, current graduate students, and other interested parties who have studied philosophy.

The convenor is Richard Gipps. Please contact him at richard.gipps@bfriars.ox.ac.uk to ask about opportunities/requirements for joining.

The book we are currently reading/discussing is Philosophical Investigations.

• 18th November Julia Mann Room; PI Part II/A Fragment of the Philosophical Investigations, sections x and the first half of xi (the long section on aspect perception). In my old edition this means Part II pp 190-210. In the new edition it means A Fragment, §§86-240.

Texts already discussed:

• Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough 
• Lectures on Aesthetics, Freud, and Religious Belief
• Remarks on the Philosophy of Psychology vol 1
• Last Writings on the Philosophy of Psychology vols 1 & 2
• Zettel

A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring. (Drury, quoting Wittgenstein, 1930; the analogy perhaps has its limitations...)
